UNSPSC 85472401: Destruction of glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic 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 005P4ZZ

UNSPSC 85472401 Destruction of glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve glossopharyngeal nerve destruction procedures. The mismatch suggests the code has been incorrectly applied to these opportunities by the issuing bodies' procurement systems and does not reflect actual purchasing patterns under this Commodity code.

State and local agencies posting under this code include city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), municipal benefits offices (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), and county procurement divisions (Collier County). Geographic activity appears scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration pattern evident from the misaligned opportunities. Because the tagged opportunities do not represent genuine demand for glossopharyngeal nerve destruction services, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and investigate whether a more accurate code assignment exists for surgical procedure services if pursuing healthcare delivery work in the public sector.
