UNSPSC 85472101: Destruction of glossopharyngeal nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of glossopharyngeal nerve, open 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 005P0ZZ

UNSPSC 85472101, Destruction of glossopharyngeal nerve, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it solicit medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve glossopharyngeal nerve destruction or surgical procedures at that level of specificity. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or use of an overly broad code tag to cover general healthcare contracting without regard to the code's nominal scope.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (responses due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (responses due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for a multi-award temporary health professional staffing pool (responses due October 7, 2026). No actionable procurement signal exists under this code for vendors in surgical procedures.
