UNSPSC 85472201: Transfer olfactory nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer olfactory nerve to 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 00XF0ZP

UNSPSC 85472201 Transfer olfactory nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code are for inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve the surgical nerve transfer procedure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the opportunities tagged under it suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement that does not fit elsewhere in the UNSPSC taxonomy. The issuing bodies include county departments (Collier County, Monroe County, San Mateo County), municipal fire departments (Santa Monica), and consolidated city-county governments (Columbus, Georgia), across Florida, Georgia, and California. Recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026). None of these opportunities involve surgical procedures or nerve transfers, indicating that the UNSPSC code classification does not represent the actual work being procured under this category.
