UNSPSC 85472321: Extirpation of matter from glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 00CP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85472321 Extirpation of matter from glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical-procedure classification bearing little relationship to the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The recent solicitations show no activity aligned with the code's nominal scope — which describes a surgical intervention on a specific cranial nerve. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, pension-disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out programs, and youth detention healthcare. These represent administrative and operational health services procurement, not procedural interventions on the glossopharyngeal nerve. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or a systemic taxonomy misalignment in the dataset.

State and local opportunities recently posted under this code originate from a mix of issuing bodies: county human resources and benefits divisions (Collier County, Santa Clara County), city retirement boards (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's disability medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing vehicle (due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of coded activity actually matching the glossopharyngeal nerve surgical code's definition, this code warrants flagging for internal taxonomy review rather than active business development pursuit under its stated scope.
