UNSPSC 85482800: Nerves upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the nerves of the upper extremity, percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 01.

UNSPSC 85482800, Nerves upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Class code that shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical medical name suggests surgical intervention on upper-extremity nerve tissue, but the recent solicitations tagged under this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, employee health benefits administration, and temporary clinical staffing services—none of which align with percutaneous endoscopic nerve procedures. This misclassification indicates the code carries little relevant activity for firms pursuing state and local opportunities in upper-extremity peripheral nerve surgery or related procedural services.

The recent opportunities span issuing bodies including city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county detention systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county benefits administration (Collier County). Geographic activity appears across California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (medical record summary preparation and physician examination scheduling for disability retirement determinations, proposals due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations for shipyard, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos-team personnel (proposals due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in 13 ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physicians (proposals due October 7, 2026). No opportunities tagged under this code address upper-extremity nerve procedures or related surgical services.
