UNSPSC 85473400: Upper cranial nerves-hearing smell taste facial movement, external approach

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the upper cranial nerves controlling hearing, smell, taste, facial movement, external approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 00.

UNSPSC 85473400 Upper cranial nerves—hearing smell taste facial movement, external approach is a Class code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities dataset. The code nominally addresses specialized neurological and otolaryngological surgical procedures, yet the six recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 center on occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve upper cranial nerve or external approach procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic coding misalignment in the source data or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices to classify the medical services they are currently buying.

The issuing bodies in the dataset span diverse jurisdiction types: city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State DOT), county probation departments (Harris County), and county boards of commissioners (Collier County). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Washington, Arizona, and Texas, with no standout repeat buyers under this specific code. Without genuine procurement activity tagged to UNSPSC 85473400, no representative solicitations or response dates relevant to upper cranial nerve work can be extracted. The code shows little to no meaningful recent activity aligned to its nominal scope in state and local contracting.
