UNSPSC 85472329: Release glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 00NP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85472329 Release glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code for a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect surgical interventions. Instead, the code shows activity across health care service procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and medical director positions — suggesting either a data-classification mismatch in the source systems or repurposing of the code to cover ancillary health services. The work being solicited includes comprehensive medical and pharmacy administration, behavioral health support, telemedicine platforms, and physician advisory roles for public health agencies and county employee health plans. Issuing bodies span county commissioners' offices (managing employee health benefits and county operations), specialized government health departments (fire and corrections), and behavioral health authorities, with no standout repeat buyers evident in the recent opportunities.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with one California opportunity. Florida shows the strongest recent volume: Collier County (RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, due April 9, 2026) and Monroe County (RFP for virtual primary and urgent care for 2,300 county members, due April 16, 2026). Georgia's Columbus Consolidated Government issued RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (approximately 576 offenders), due May 15, 2026, with a current monthly cost of $95,537.71 and an existing contract expiring September 30, 2026. Additional recent opportunities include San Mateo County Health's pilot peer support program ($580,000 total funding, due July 2, 2025) and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director position (RFP posted February 25, 2026, due October 16, 2025). The code's actual purchase activity bears little relation to its nominal surgical scope.
