UNSPSC 85472144: Supplement hypoglossal nerve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement hypoglossal nerve with autologous tissue substitute, 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 00US07Z

UNSPSC 85472144 Supplement hypoglossal nerve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect surgical intervention. Instead, the code tags a diverse mix of health service solicitations spanning occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks for employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the actual work being procured suggests either miscoding on the part of issuing bodies or an artifact of how state procurement systems classify health services broadly. Issuing bodies include county health systems, county departments, city retirement offices, state transportation authorities, and county boards of commissioners — a fragmented public-sector buyer base with no dominant repeat purchaser visible in the recent opportunity set.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration by region or state. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award with no guaranteed volume). The code shows active procurement velocity but with substantial scope drift from its nominal taxonomy definition, warranting clarification of actual commodity mapping before pursuing.
