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 little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services (Columbus Consolidated Government), pharmacy benefit management services (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County, Florida), peer support for peer workers (San Mateo County, California), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica Fire Department). None of these solicitations align with the code's nominal scope of percutaneous endoscopic procedures on upper extremity nerves; instead, they span institutional healthcare administration, behavioral health services, and medical direction — a clear mismatch between the code classification and the work actually being bought.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span county government purchasing divisions (Collier County, Monroe County) and county health or behavioral health agencies (Columbus Consolidated Government Finance Department for county detention, San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, Santa Monica Fire Department). Geographic spread includes Florida (two counties), Georgia, California, and California again, with no concentration evident. The recent opportunities include an RFP from Columbus Consolidated Government due May 15, 2026, for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (current monthly cost $95,537.71), an RFP from Collier County due April 9, 2026, for pharmacy benefit management services (historical annual spending approximately $8.7 million), and an RFP from Monroe County due April 16, 2026, for virtual primary and urgent care services. Given the systematic mismatch between this code's clinical procedure focus and the healthcare administration and service-delivery contracts actually posted under it, the code warrants reclassification review rather than active pursuit based on current tagging practices.
