UNSPSC 85482734: Repair ulnar nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair ulnar nerve, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 01Q43ZZ

UNSPSC 85482734 Repair ulnar nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code show no alignment with surgical repair work. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee benefits, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve surgical repair of a specific nerve. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being procured suggests either classification error in the state and local posting systems or significant drift between the code's medical definition and its practical application in government contracting.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities span occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP, due October 9, 2026); independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations in Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP, due October 16, 2026); and a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for City of Long Beach employees and retirees (City of Long Beach, RFP, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West Coast, with recent postings from Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.
