UNSPSC 85473569: Transfer facial nerve to 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 00XM0ZM

UNSPSC 85473569 Transfer facial nerve to facial nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that exhibits a substantial mismatch between its nominal scope—a highly specific surgical procedure—and the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve facial nerve transfer surgery or any related surgical procedures. Instead, the opportunities reflect medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to these opportunities, which center on administrative medical services, occupational medicine compliance, benefits management, and staffing procurement rather than any form of surgical intervention. None of the solicitations involve the transferring of facial nerves or operative neurosurgical work.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and county boards of commissioners (Collier County). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for proposals for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Because this code shows no relevant procurement activity aligned with facial nerve transfer procedures, the code should be treated as inactive for state and local business development purposes.
