UNSPSC 85482832: Release radial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release radial 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 01N64ZZ

UNSPSC 85482832 Release radial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it bear no relation to procedural surgery or nerve release—instead they reflect medical staffing, benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, and pharmacy management. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due Oct 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's carve-out proposal for Centers of Excellence surgical networks (due Oct 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance request (due Oct 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for youth detention medical services (due Sep 25, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due Apr 9, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (due Oct 7, 2026) all operate in the administrative, logistics, and staffing domains of healthcare delivery rather than surgical intervention. This suggests a taxonomy mismatch—the code has been applied to healthcare-adjacent procurement that does not align with its nominal surgical scope. Issuing bodies include county health systems, county and city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice authorities, and county commissioners' offices, spanning multiple jurisdictions across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas.

The geographic spread includes activity in Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no clear concentration. The most recent opportunities do not reflect the surgical procedure the code nominally describes; instead they document demand for occupational health examinations, disability medical record review, surgical benefit carve-outs managed through external provider networks, pharmacy administration, and temporary clinical staffing. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance contract (WSDOT RFP 20260825, due Oct 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled Aug 31, 2026) covering baseline and periodic exams across 14 ferry locations for shipyard workers and crew, and the Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due Oct 16, 2026) managing approximately 75 annual disability determinations for public safety personnel with a $750,000 five-year contract value. The code shows no recent activity aligned with its stated surgical scope, suggesting the classification is either obsolete for current procurement practice or applied inconsistently by issuing authorities.
