UNSPSC 85473402: Change other device in cranial nerve, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to change other device in cranial nerve, external 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 002EXYZ

UNSPSC 85473402 Change other device in cranial nerve, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical scope—cranial nerve device placement via external surgical approach—describes a specific inpatient surgical procedure typically performed in hospital operating rooms rather than a product or service category that state and local agencies procure as contracting opportunities. The recent solicitations posted under this code relate instead to inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve cranial nerve device placement.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities suggests either miscoding by issuing jurisdictions or use of this code as a catch-all for healthcare-related contracts that do not fit narrower codes. Geographic activity includes Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California again (Santa Monica Fire Department), but none of these opportunities require the specific procedure the code names. The source contains no recent solicitations for cranial nerve device procurement, placement, or related surgical services. Practitioners should verify code alignment with procurement offices directly before pursuing opportunities posted under this classification.
