This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer glossopharyngeal nerve to acoustic 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 00XP0ZN

UNSPSC 85472240 Transfer glossopharyngeal nerve to acoustic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a highly specialized neurosurgical procedure — does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The recent solicitations reflect a mismatch: the opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None involve nerve transfer surgery or the operative procedures the code purports to describe. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code to tag general health services and medical evaluation contracting rather than the specific neurosurgical intervention the code nominally covers, rendering the code title disconnected from actual buying activity.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum and October 16, 2026 deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with an October 9, 2026 proposal deadline; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code shows active recent posting but lacks coherence around a single service line or procurement driver.
