UNSPSC 85473525: Extraction of olfactory nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of olfactory 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 00DF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85473525 Extraction of olfactory nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the health care and human services work actually being solicited under this tag by state and local issuers. Recent opportunities posted under this code include inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve olfactory nerve extraction or surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement databases or an institutional practice of using clinical procedure codes for broader health services contracts without strict adherence to the procedure's anatomical or operative specificity.

The geographic spread of the four substantive health care opportunities spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), and California (San Mateo County), with issuing bodies including county commissions, consolidated city governments, and county health departments. Recent representative opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026) and Monroe County's RFP for 24/7 virtual primary and urgent care services covering approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). Given the code's classification mismatch with actual procurement, firms pursuing work in health services delivery, pharmacy administration, or EMS medical direction should verify the issuing body's intended UNSPSC classification or reference the actual scope of work rather than relying on this code's nominal surgical designation.
