UNSPSC 85482803: Destruction of median nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of median nerve, percutaneous endoscopic 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 01554ZZ

UNSPSC 85482803 Destruction of median nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal clinical procedure scope does not match the recent opportunities posted under this classification.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve nerve destruction procedures. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicitation (RFP20260825) requests occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, with examinations performed by occupational-medicine-certified physicians and contract term through 2026–2031. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RTMRFP26001) seeks independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, with a $750,000 five-year maximum and response due October 16, 2026. The City of Long Beach (HR26753) is requesting surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for Centers of Excellence networks serving approximately 3,800 employees and retirees, with proposals due October 7, 2026 and target contract execution April 1, 2027. Santa Clara County Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052) established a multi-category temporary health professional staffing pool due October 7, 2026, excluding clinical nursing and physician services. Issuing bodies span state departments (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara), municipal retirement offices (Phoenix), and city human resources divisions (Long Beach). The code shows recent activity across Arizona, California, and Washington. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual scope of work being solicited — occupational health administration, benefits management, and staffing — suggests either miscoding at intake or an administrative error in the taxonomy assignment. A pursuit decision should account for this significant scope divergence before committing to bid preparation.
