UNSPSC 85472325: Extraction of glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction 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 00DP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85472325 Extraction of glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract activity posted under it. The source shows no solicitations actually seeking surgical extraction of the glossopharyngeal nerve or related operative procedures. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the specific surgical intervention named in the code. This mismatch indicates either a data-tagging error in the procurement system or misclassification at source, and suggests the code itself carries minimal decision relevance for firms pursuing state and local medical or surgical contracts.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span state departments, county health systems, county probation departments, and cities — Arizona (Phoenix), Washington (state ferries), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). However, because the opportunities are not substantively related to the code's nominal scope of glossopharyngeal nerve extraction, the geographic distribution and issuing-body mix do not reflect actual procurement demand for the service the code names. Firms evaluating this code should verify current UNSPSC classification in their procurement tracking system before committing resources to pursue opportunities tagged to it.
