UNSPSC 85472140: Reposition hypoglossal nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition hypoglossal 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 00SS0ZZ

UNSPSC 85472140 Reposition hypoglossal nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes surgical procedures, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no relationship to the code's scope — the solicitations involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. The code shows little to no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated surgical focus.

The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement activity appears systemic across the opportunities shown. No state or local issuing body is soliciting surgical services under this code. The opportunities instead reflect broader healthcare service procurement — administrative functions such as pharmacy claims processing and formulary management, preventive and episodic care delivery, and mental health support infrastructure. Geographic spread across the sample includes Georgia (Muscogee County), Florida (Collier and Monroe Counties), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), but this geographic pattern reflects the incidental composition of the sample rather than genuine code activity concentrated in particular regions. Absent properly categorized surgical or nerve-repositioning opportunities, this code does not present a viable pursuit path for firms focused on state and local medical or surgical service contracting.
