About UNSPSC 85472505

UNSPSC 85472505 Transfer optic nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific neurosurgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with that scope — they cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing, none of which involve optic nerve transfer or the procedure's specific technical specifications. This mismatch suggests either that the code was applied incorrectly to these opportunities or that state and local procurement systems are using the code to tag broader health services categories rather than the discrete procedure it names.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies across different jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit networks), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Given the procedural mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, firms pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the specific clinical services being purchased rather than assume the code reflects the actual scope.
