UNSPSC 85472239: Transfer glossopharyngeal nerve to facial nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer glossopharyngeal nerve to facial 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 00XP0ZM

UNSPSC 85472239 Transfer glossopharyngeal nerve to facial nerve, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local government entities do not directly procure individual surgical interventions or their technical execution. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the code's stated scope of a named operative technique. The mismatch reflects a common tagging error in state and local procurement systems where medical service categories or health-related opportunities are sometimes classified under procedure-specific codes.

The opportunities that do appear under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefits coordination), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention medical services), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). Given the code's procedure-specific name and the absence of opportunities actually procuring that procedure, this code warrants close scrutiny before pursuit; vendors should verify that opportunities posted under this code truly match their service scope before investing proposal effort.
