UNSPSC 85472317: Excision of glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of glossopharyngeal 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 00BP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85472317 Excision of glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with that clinical scope. Instead, the solicitations tracked here span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for public employees, temporary health professional staffing pool qualification, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These are fundamentally different from the procedure the code's name describes, indicating a classification mismatch rather than genuine procurement activity for glossopharyngeal nerve excision. The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), city retirement offices and health systems (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a county health system. No repeat buyer appears more than once in the recent opportunity set.

The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for ferry workers across 14 statewide locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026). This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated procedure scope and should not be relied upon for glossopharyngeal nerve excision procurement signals.
