UNSPSC 85472225: Transfer facial nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer facial 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 00XM0ZP

UNSPSC 85472225 Transfer facial nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal designation refers to a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect that scope. Instead, the code shows activity across occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit program administration — none of which align with cranial nerve transfer surgery. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice authorities, spanning administrative healthcare procurement rather than surgical procedure delivery. Given the mismatch between the code's surgical procedure name and the actual scope of recent opportunities, this code shows little decision-relevant activity for firms pursuing work in that specialty.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services related to disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits management under an Anthem PPO plan, due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties, due October 7, 2026. The geographic footprint spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. The code appears to reflect a taxonomy classification error rather than an intentional grouping of procurement activity, and firms should verify code assignment during pre-bid inquiry rather than assume scope alignment based on the nominal UNSPSC descriptor.
