UNSPSC 85472333: Repair glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 00QP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85472333 Repair glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code describes a specific surgical repair procedure for the glossopharyngeal nerve via percutaneous approach — a highly specialized neurosurgical intervention — yet the five recent opportunities solicited under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction. None of these opportunities involve glossopharyngeal nerve repair or percutaneous neurosurgical procedures. The mismatch suggests the code assignment reflects a data-classification error rather than intentional procurement of the service the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities posted under this code serve issuing bodies across Georgia, Florida, and California, including county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County), a county health department (San Mateo County BHRS), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica SMFD). The scope spans healthcare administration and clinical services — medical intake and chronic care management for county jails, PBM administration for county employees, virtual primary care platforms, peer support services for mental health peer workers, and EMS medical direction — none of which fall within neurosurgical repair. Given the absence of relevant recent activity in the actual scope of the code, this category does not present viable procurement opportunities under its stated definition.
