This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of facial nerve with drainage device, 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 009M00Z

UNSPSC 85473513 Drainage of facial nerve with drainage device, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but state and local procurement solicitations tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve facial nerve drainage or surgical procedures matching the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests that this code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously to health care procurement that does not align with its medical procedure classification.

Recent opportunities are scattered across Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, issued by city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and municipal human resources divisions. No pattern of repeat buyers under this code emerges from the source material. The opportunities span contract vehicles including RFP, RFI, and RFQ formats with due dates ranging from September through December 2026. Because the code itself describes a specific surgical intervention rather than the general health services administration, staffing, and benefit management work that the tagged opportunities actually procure, pursue this code only if your firm delivers one of those discrete services — occupational medicine surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, or clinical temporary staffing — and can match your offering to the specific issuing jurisdiction's scope. The code's nominal definition does not reliably signal procurement opportunity.
