UNSPSC 85472517: Transfer trigeminal nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer trigeminal nerve to 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 00XK4ZP

UNSPSC 85472517 Transfer trigeminal nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not procure surgical procedures themselves. Instead, they solicit medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, healthcare staffing, and surgical benefit administration — none of which constitute the neurological procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests this code has been misapplied to healthcare administration and occupational medicine contracts rather than to the specialized neurosurgical services the Commodity describes.

The issuing bodies in the recent block span city retirement offices, municipal health departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The most concrete recent opportunity is the Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, issuing an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, but this and the other recent postings are fundamentally misaligned with the code's nominal scope. No recent solicitations under this code procure the transfer trigeminal nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve procedure or related neurosurgical services. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and verify correct code assignment before pursuing opportunities in this category.
