UNSPSC 85472409: Drainage of glossopharyngeal nerve with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of glossopharyngeal nerve with drainage device, 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 009P40Z

UNSPSC 85472409, Drainage of glossopharyngeal nerve with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged with this code — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — fall entirely outside the neurosurgical procedure scope the code nominates. State and local agencies do not appear to be soliciting drainage of glossopharyngeal nerve procedures under this code in current market.

The mismatch reflects a broader taxonomic classification issue: the code is a surgical procedure commodity, yet the recent opportunities it is tagged with address occupational health screening, administrative benefits management, and clinical staffing — none of which involve surgical intervention. No issuing body has posted an RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB for the neurosurgical service the code describes. Pursuit under this code is not supported by demonstrated state and local demand.
