This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer vagus 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 00XQ0ZM

UNSPSC 85472251 Transfer vagus nerve to facial nerve, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local solicitations posted under it—medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical networks for public employees, and temporary clinical staffing—bear no connection to vagal-facial nerve transfer surgery. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the originating procurement systems or an artifact of broader healthcare coding that does not reflect the actual scope of work being bought.

The six opportunities posted since July 2026 span independent disability medical evaluations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP due October 16, 2026), surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach, RFP due October 7, 2026), occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP due October 9, 2026), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI due September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management for a county consortium (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP due April 9, 2026), and temporary ancillary clinical staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFP due October 7, 2026). Issuing bodies include state departments, county boards, cities, and special-purpose health systems. Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no standout repeat buyer. Given the absence of alignment between the code name and the work actually solicited, this code merits close scrutiny for portfolio tracking and opportunity matching.
