UNSPSC 85472221 Transfer abducens nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, open approach is a Commodity code nominally denoting a specific surgical nerve-transfer procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a material mismatch. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect no actual nerve-transfer surgery procurement. Instead, they center on occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical centers of excellence carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the abducens-to-glossopharyngeal nerve transfer named in the code description. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county retirement offices, state transportation departments, health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and municipalities with employee health plans. The code shows little decision-relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code span Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) managing approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), requiring baseline and periodic examinations under occupational medicine board certification. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026). The City of Long Beach sought proposals for surgical procedure centers of excellence carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations align with nerve-transfer surgery procurement, signaling that the code classification does not reflect actual state and local buying patterns under this UNSPSC designation.
