UNSPSC 85473508: Division of acoustic nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of acoustic nerve, open 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 008N0ZZ

UNSPSC 85473508 Division of acoustic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the medical services state and local governments are actually soliciting. The recent opportunities tagged under this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare—none of which involve acoustic nerve division or operative surgery scheduling at the commodity level. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously to broader healthcare administration and staffing categories that fall outside the procedure-specific intent of the taxonomy entry.

The issuing bodies span county health systems, county pension boards, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and municipal health benefit administrators across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, reflecting fragmented healthcare procurement across different public agencies and benefit programs. Response dates on recent postings cluster between early October and mid-October 2026, with one pharmacy benefit management RFP holding an April 2026 deadline (already passed as of the summary date of October 20, 2026). Without clarity on why these healthcare administration and staffing opportunities are coded to acoustic nerve surgery, this code does not represent a coherent procurement category for targeting state and local opportunities.
