This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer hypoglossal nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85472577 Transfer hypoglossal nerve to glossopharyngeal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not reflect the actual medical and health services state and local governments are procuring. The recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, and related health plan administration — none of which involve the specific nerve-transfer surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span multiple public sectors: municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources and benefits administrations (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county employee benefits programs (Collier County). This suggests the code is being used as a catch-all for medical services procurement rather than for the narrow surgical specialty it names.

Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with the most recent and detailed solicitations concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) focusing on disability medical record summaries and examination coordination for approximately 75 annual pension applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional five additional one-year renewals); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical spending near $8.7 million annually). The code shows substantial recent activity but reflects a significant mismatch between its nominal description and current procurement reality.
