UNSPSC 85473619: Excision of facial nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of facial nerve, percutaneous 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 00BM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85473619 Excision of facial nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The six state and local opportunities posted since mid-July 2026 and tagged with this code do not involve facial nerve procedures or surgical intervention aligned with the code's description. Instead, the recent solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which map to the excision procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices have applied this code incorrectly to broader medical and health benefits administration work, or that the code taxonomy itself is not well-calibrated to state and local health purchasing patterns.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county boards of commissioners, county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (posted September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for public safety pension systems; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at 14 ferry system locations (posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026). Without a coherent block of recent procurements aligned to the facial nerve excision code, this commodity does not represent an active or reliably signaled category in current state and local buying patterns.
