UNSPSC 85472255 Transfer vagus nerve to accessory nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical nerve-transfer procedure. However, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with surgical interventions or nerve procedures. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement of healthcare services spanning inmate medical and pharmacy administration, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for mental health workers, and emergency medical services medical direction. The code appears to have been misapplied to these opportunities, which fall outside the scope of surgical procedures. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; and San Mateo County, California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California), with no single repeat buyer evident in the recent sample.

Geographic activity spans Florida (two opportunities in Collier and Monroe counties), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County and Santa Monica), with no concentrated regional pattern. Recent opportunities include Muscogee County Prison's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services, posted April 15, 2026, with proposals due May 15, 2026; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, due April 9, 2026, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million; Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members, with proposals due April 16, 2026; and San Mateo County's RFP No. 2025-007 for peer support services for peer workers, with total funding of $580,000 and proposals due July 2, 2025. The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure name and the healthcare administration and service delivery work actually being solicited suggests significant classification error in the underlying data; business development professionals should verify code accuracy before committing resources.
