UNSPSC 85472420: Excision of hypoglossal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 00BS4ZZ

UNSPSC 85472420 Excision of hypoglossal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code for a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical intervention. Instead, the code shows recent activity centered on occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention. The scope mismatch indicates that the code's nominal definition (a highly specific surgical procedure) does not align with what state and local governments are actually procuring under the classification. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach, Seattle via Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county probation departments (Harris County), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County), reflecting a mix of administrative, clinical, and operational health service procurement across jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington State Ferry locations, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories, due October 7, 2026. The code's tagging to these opportunities suggests potential misclassification; the procurement activity does not map to surgical procedures and warrants review of whether these opportunities should be reclassified to codes reflecting occupational health, health staffing, or administrative health services.
