UNSPSC 85472316: Drainage of hypoglossal nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of hypoglossal nerve, percutaneous 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 009S3ZZ

UNSPSC 85472316 Drainage of hypoglossal nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving the hypoglossal nerve—does not align with the state and local opportunities tagged under it in the source material. Recent solicitations filed under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System), surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans (City of Long Beach), and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). None of these solicitations involve surgical drainage procedures or neurological interventions.

The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices may have misapplied this Commodity code when classifying medical services and benefits administration contracts. Entities posting under this code span city retirement boards, county health systems, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, and county probation departments—a broad jurisdictional mix with no concentration. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Given the absence of any hypoglossal-nerve-specific procedures in the recent opportunities block, this code does not present a viable business development target for surgical service providers or medical device suppliers focused on neurological procedures.
