Your code typo corrected. It is POSIX shell compliant, and it works with Bash too.

Code:
#!/bin/sh

# POSIX shell compliant.

# grab run directory.
set -xv

for dir in /home/cmccabe/medex.logs/ponc/*/ ; do


  if [ -d "$dir" ] ; then
     run="$(basename "$dir")"
  fi


  # find match and copy run.
  # the program exits 1, in case the directory can not be accessed, or does not exist.
  cd /home/cmccabe/Desktop/f1 || exit 1


  # https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/SC2035
  match="$(find ./* -maxdepth 1 -type d)"


  if [ "$run" = "$match" ]
  then
    # cp -v "$run" /home/cmccabe/Desktop/f1/"$match"
  fi


done
