UNSPSC 85472342: Supplement vagus nerve with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement vagus nerve with autologous tissue substitute, 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 00UQ37Z

UNSPSC 85472342 Supplement vagus nerve with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach, a Commodity code, shows no alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving vagus nerve supplementation with autologous tissue, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and related health administration and benefits management functions. None of these activities involve vagus nerve procedures, autologous tissue implants, or percutaneous surgical techniques.

This mismatch suggests either a coding error at the posting jurisdiction or an artifact of how state and local procurement systems assign UNSPSC tags to health-related opportunities. The issuing bodies represent a diverse set of state and local jurisdictions — the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara (California) — but their work bears no relationship to the code's stated commodity. Without recent opportunities that actually match the code's surgical-procedure scope, there is no actionable market activity to characterize, and pursuing work under this code number would likely result in misaligned bid submissions. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the medical procedure it nominally describes.
