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 00NS0ZZ

UNSPSC 85472132 Release hypoglossal nerve, open approach is a Commodity code with no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The five opportunities posted in the recent-opportunities block under this code do not align with the neurological surgical procedure named in the code title. The opportunities instead cover inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support for peer workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica Fire Department). None of these solicitations involve release of the hypoglossal nerve or any operative neurosurgery service.

State and local procurement systems occasionally tag opportunities with UNSPSC codes that do not match the actual work being bought, particularly when service bundles or administrative categories are broader than the code's clinical scope. This code shows no evidence of active state and local purchasing for the specialized surgical procedure it nominally represents. Firms pursuing state and local healthcare service contracts should verify code alignment directly with issuing bodies during the RFP or RFQ review phase rather than relying on the posted taxonomy assignment.
