This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 009P4ZZ

UNSPSC 85472410 Drainage of glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this designation. The recent solicitations tagged to this code procure occupational health services, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical procedure networks, and youth detention healthcare—none of which involve neurological drainage procedures. The code shows little relevant procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The mismatch appears systematic rather than incidental; the solicitations reflect routine state and local health system purchasing across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies including counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (approximately $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026, and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees due April 9, 2026 (historical spending approximately $8.7 million annually). Bidders should verify the correct UNSPSC coding before pursuing opportunities in this category, as the taxonomy assignment does not reflect the health administration and staffing services actually being solicited.
