UNSPSC 85472521: Transfer abducens nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer abducens 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 00XL4ZP

UNSPSC 85472521 Transfer abducens nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. State and local procurement systems have tagged six opportunities to this code in the past two months, but none involve the specific neurological surgical procedure the code describes. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local systems or misapplication of the taxonomy to administrative and occupational health services that fall outside surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies across the six opportunities include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and one county health system. Geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 (baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations); the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 (disability medical record summarization and examination scheduling for public safety pension applicants, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026 (Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures). None of these represent procurement of the abducens-to-glossopharyngeal nerve transfer procedure, and the code's current tagging in state and local systems does not signal procurement activity aligned with its stated clinical scope.
