UNSPSC 85472242: Transfer glossopharyngeal nerve to vagus nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer glossopharyngeal nerve to vagus 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 00XP0ZQ

UNSPSC 85472242 Transfer glossopharyngeal nerve to vagus nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical benefits carve-outs, emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical nerve transfer procedures. This mismatch suggests either a systematic data-quality issue in how this code is being applied by issuing bodies or a misclassification in the underlying procurement records.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies ranging from city pension boards and county health departments to state transportation agencies and health systems. No clear pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated activity emerges from the six opportunities posted between late July and mid-September 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's surgical nomenclature and the administrative, staffing, and managed-care services being procured, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for business development targeting in state and local government contracting.
