UNSPSC 85472416: Drainage of hypoglossal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 009S4ZZ

UNSPSC 85472416 Drainage of hypoglossal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, surgical benefit programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involves hypoglossal nerve drainage. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of health service procurements or that this particular procedure code has been applied as a catch-all for broader medical-administration categories within state and local UNSPSC hierarchies.

The recent opportunities themselves reflect genuine state and local health procurement activity across multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability evaluation services), the City of Long Beach (surgery carve-out programs), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention emergency care), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum over five years (due October 16, 2026), Long Beach's RFP for surgical Centers of Excellence networks targeting April 2027 go-live, and Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026). However, none of these opportunities materially relates to the code's stated scope, making this code an unreliable vehicle for business development targeting actual procedural surgical work.
