UNSPSC 85473553 Supplement acoustic nerve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code with a significant mismatch between its clinical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving nerve grafting; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect no actual purchasing of implants, surgical supplies, or tissue products aligned with that procedure. Instead, state and local jurisdictions are tagging general occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, pension disability evaluations, employee health plan surgical carve-outs, and temporary clinical staffing under this code—activities bearing no operational relationship to acoustic nerve supplementation.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement system (City of Phoenix), county health departments and probation agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), a municipal employee benefits office (City of Long Beach), and a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic posting activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026) covering 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System nonexclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its stated purpose of surgical nerve-grafting procedures or tissue substitutes.
