UNSPSC 85472229: Transfer acoustic nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer acoustic 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 00XN0ZP

UNSPSC 85472229 Transfer acoustic nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code reflect instead general medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefits management, and temporary health professional staffing services—none of which involve neurological nerve transfer surgery.

The recent opportunities show minimal relevant activity under this code's surgical scope. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (responses due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026) requiring physician board certification in occupational medicine and examinations across 14 Washington ferry locations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (responses due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (responses due October 7, 2026). The remaining tagged opportunities—pharmacy benefit management services from Collier County, surgical benefit carve-outs from the City of Long Beach, and emergency medical services for detained youth from Harris County—are administrative or facility-based healthcare purchasing, not procedural surgery. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities actually solicited suggests either a data-entry error in the source tagging or that the code does not reflect current state and local procurement patterns for the specific neurological procedure it names.
