UNSPSC 85472549: Transfer vagus nerve to trigeminal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer vagus nerve to trigeminal 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 00XQ4ZK

UNSPSC 85472549 Transfer vagus nerve to trigeminal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific medical procedure scope. The code's nominal description refers to a highly specialized neurosurgical intervention; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve medical evaluation, health plan administration, occupational surveillance, and pharmacy benefit management—none of which involve vagal nerve transfer procedures or related neurosurgery. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting this particular procedure or surgical technique through current RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs.

The recent opportunities include disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), a surgical benefit carve-out program by the City of Long Beach for Centers of Excellence networks covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), occupational medical surveillance services by the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), emergency and specialty healthcare services for youth in custody by Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management by Collier County (RFP 258414, submitted deadline April 9, 2026), and temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical categories by the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). These opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none target vagal nerve transfer procedures or the neurosurgical specialty this code nominally describes. The code appears misaligned with actual state and local procurement activity and warrants review for tagging accuracy.
