UNSPSC 85472277: Transfer hypoglossal nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer hypoglossal nerve to glossopharyngeal 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 00XS0ZP

UNSPSC 85472277 Transfer hypoglossal nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical nerve transfer procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the nerve transfer procedure the code purports to describe. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the point of solicitation or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all placeholder for health services and clinical staffing that do not fit established commodity categories.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include county health systems, county human resources and procurement divisions, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with individual contracts ranging from $750,000 over five years (Phoenix pension medical evaluations) to approximately $8.7 million annually (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). Because none of these opportunities directly relate to the stated code scope, vendors pursuing contracts in the substantive areas these solicitations represent should verify the correct UNSPSC coding with the issuing body rather than rely on this code as a reliable search signal.
