UNSPSC 85482819: Excision of median nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 01B54ZZ

UNSPSC 85482819 Excision of median nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work being solicited under this classification in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve surgical excision of the median nerve or any surgical procedure matching the code's nominal clinical descriptor. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code has drifted from its clinical definition into a broader administrative or occupational health services classification in state and local procurement practice.

Activity spans multiple issuing bodies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, including city retirement offices, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, state transportation departments, and county probation departments. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits for its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026, anticipated go-live April 1, 2027), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a two-year term and optional five-year extension), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual spending near $8.7 million). Given the consistent mismatch between the code's stated clinical procedure and the administrative and occupational health management work actually being bought, pursuit under this code classification should proceed with caution; verification that opportunities are correctly coded or that this code genuinely applies to your service line is essential before investing in response.
