UNSPSC 85473544: Repair facial nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair facial 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 00QM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85473544 Repair facial nerve, open approach is a Commodity-tier code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it involve institutional healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which constitute surgical repair of facial nerves. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these solicitations with the code incorrectly or as a catch-all for healthcare services broadly, creating a substantial mismatch between the code's clinical scope and what is actually being bought.

The recent opportunities span Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County Prison via Columbus Consolidated Government), California (San Mateo County), and California again (Santa Monica Fire Department). They include an RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (Columbus Consolidated Government, due May 15, 2026), an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, due April 9, 2026), an RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, due April 16, 2026), a peer support pilot program for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County Health, due July 2, 2025), and an RFP for fire department medical direction (Santa Monica Fire Department, due October 16, 2025). Because the code's nominal scope bears no meaningful relation to these opportunities, pursuit decisions should rest on whether your firm operates in the healthcare administration or occupational health services space—not on the facial nerve repair classification itself. The code as currently tagged is not a reliable signal for surgical services procurement.
