UNSPSC 85472539: Transfer glossopharyngeal nerve to facial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer glossopharyngeal nerve to facial 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 00XP4ZM

UNSPSC 85472539 Transfer glossopharyngeal nerve to facial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this Commodity code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve nerve transfer procedures or surgical interventions matching the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests either a data-capture error in the opportunity tagging or a misclassification of this Commodity code within the UNSPSC taxonomy as deployed by state and local procurement systems.

The opportunities present do reflect genuine state and local health-care and benefits procurement activity across multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations, $750,000 over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit program, RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington locations, RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories, RFP due October 7, 2026), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, $8.7 million historical annual spend, RFP due April 9, 2026). However, these opportunities should not be treated as representative of activity under this Commodity code; they appear to reflect broader health-services procurement activity misaligned with the code's stated scope.
