This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer hypoglossal 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 00XS0ZM

UNSPSC 85472275 Transfer hypoglossal nerve to facial nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical nerve transfer procedure, yet the most recent opportunities posted under this code are for independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve hypoglossal-to-facial nerve transfer surgery or specialized surgical procedures of that type. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the sourcing data or a state and local procurement practice of applying surgical procedure codes to broader medical and administrative services that fall outside the code's nominal scope.

Recent activity under this code spans multiple issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health departments and employee benefits (City of Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. Firms evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC assignment before committing resources, as the code's title bears no relation to the work actually being sourced.
