UNSPSC 85472256: Transfer vagus nerve to hypoglossal nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer vagus nerve to hypoglossal 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 00XQ0ZS

UNSPSC 85472256 Transfer vagus nerve to hypoglossal nerve, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with that clinical definition. The six most recent solicitations instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve nerve transfer surgery. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification anomaly or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement outside its intended scope. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county boards of commissioners, county health systems, city retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal procurement offices. Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (statewide), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County).

The two largest and most recent opportunities illustrate the divergence from the code's nominal scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026, seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP 20260825 on August 25, 2026, soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 locations, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 and a two-year initial term with options to extend. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued RFSQ HHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026, establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in thirteen ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026 as a non-exclusive, multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work. Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP 25-8414, posted August 20, 2026, covers approximately $8.7 million in annual historical pharmacy spending. This code does not represent a coherent procurement category under its stated definition.
