UNSPSC 85472526: Transfer facial nerve to vagus nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer facial nerve to vagus 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 00XM4ZQ

UNSPSC 85472526 Transfer facial nerve to vagus nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, and specialty medical network carve-out benefits — none of which involve facial nerve transfer surgery or procedures of that specificity. This mismatch suggests either a data classification error or that state and local procurement systems are applying the code to general medical services administration rather than to the discrete surgical procedure the code nominally names.

The geographic and issuing-body spread across the six opportunities reflects activity in Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with both county health systems and city and state agencies posting under the code. No recent opportunity in the block aligns with the code's stated surgical scope, and no representative examples of facial nerve transfer procedures or related perioperative services appear. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for procurement purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing vendors or assessing market activity.
