UNSPSC 85472441: Supplement glossopharyngeal nerve with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement glossopharyngeal nerve with autologous tissue substitute, 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 00UP47Z

UNSPSC 85472441 Supplement glossopharyngeal nerve with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specialized surgical procedure involving nerve supplementation with autologous tissue—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code. The opportunities actually solicited include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management services, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of opportunities appears concentrated in Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no jurisdictions showing repeat activity under this code. Given the fundamental mismatch between the code's surgical procedure scope and the actual services being solicited—administrative healthcare management, staffing, and benefit programs rather than a defined surgical intervention—this code does not appear to represent a relevant purchasing category for firms pursuing state and local medical or surgical service contracts. Business development professionals should verify whether procurement offices are applying this code correctly to their opportunities or whether a different UNSPSC classification better reflects the services being sought.
