This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of hypoglossal 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 005S4ZZ

UNSPSC 85472404 Destruction of hypoglossal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with that narrow clinical definition. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans—none of which involve nerve destruction or percutaneous endoscopic surgery. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted under it represent general health services procurement rather than the specific procedure the code nominally names, suggesting either a tagging error at the source or significant drift between UNSPSC taxonomy and actual state and local use.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county government and health consortium (Collier County), a county health system (Santa Clara County), and municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix). Geographic activity spans Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, RFP, October 16, 2026 due date) covering disability medical record summary and examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual pension applications with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, RFP, October 9, 2026 due date) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians to conduct baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, RFQ, October 7, 2026 due date) establishing a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories. None of these align with the code's stated scope.
