UNSPSC 85472117: Excision of glossopharyngeal nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 00BP0ZZ

UNSPSC 85472117 Excision of glossopharyngeal nerve, open approach is a Commodity code for a surgical procedure that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The source shows no relevant procurement activity for this specific neurological surgical procedure; instead, the opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and juvenile detention medical services.

Because the code designation appears to be a data-tagging error rather than a reflection of actual state and local buying patterns, this code shows no decision-relevant activity for business development professionals targeting surgical services or procedure-specific procurement in state and local markets. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities captured suggests the UNSPSC classification may need correction at the source level.
