UNSPSC 85472544 Transfer glossopharyngeal nerve to hypoglossal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which match the narrow procedural scope the code name implies. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or as a catch-all for medical and health services contracting that falls outside conventional health insurance or benefits categories.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources divisions (Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal governments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and special-purpose districts. Recent opportunities span Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with no standout geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (proposals due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (proposals due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (proposals due April 9, 2026). The misalignment between the code's stated surgical procedure and the actual scope of contracting activity suggests this code may not be a reliable targeting vehicle for business development in state and local procurement.
