UNSPSC 85473524: Extirpation of matter from acoustic nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 00CN0ZZ

UNSPSC 85473524 Extirpation of matter from acoustic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure classification but does not align with state and local government procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code describes a surgical intervention—removal of material from the acoustic nerve via open surgical approach—yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code involve occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out programs for employee health plans. None of these opportunities involve acoustic nerve surgery or related otologic procedures. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or a tagging misapplication by the issuing bodies.

The recent opportunities do reflect state and local government purchasing of medical services broadly—specifically occupational health examinations, disability medical record review, pharmacy administration, and surgical benefit coordination—but these fall outside the scope of the acoustic nerve procedure code itself. The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), and a municipal health department (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Without representative opportunities actually soliciting services under UNSPSC 85473524 as defined, the code shows no actionable recent activity for business development professionals pursuing acoustic nerve surgical services in state and local procurement.
