UNSPSC 85473620: Excision of acoustic nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of acoustic 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 00BN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85473620 Excision of acoustic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code nominally refers to a specific surgical procedure, yet the opportunities being solicited under it comprise occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, emergency hospital services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve acoustic nerve excision or procedural surgery coding. This represents a systematic mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and the actual goods and services being procured by state and local issuers under this code number.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies including a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal entities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Activity appears concentrated in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. Given the disconnect between the code's procedural designation and the administrative healthcare and staffing services actually being bought, this code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for firms in clinical surgery, surgical device manufacturing, or related surgical practice specialties.
