UNSPSC 85473627: Extraction of facial nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction 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 00DM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85473627 Extraction of facial nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure name and the state and local procurement activity actually posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not solicitate facial nerve extraction services; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities involve the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mix of issuing bodies includes county and city government health and human services departments, county retirement boards, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile justice authorities—a broad cross-section of public-sector healthcare administration and occupational health oversight rather than surgical service delivery.

Geographic spread across the recent opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration in any single state. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations, due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability retirement applications, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). The code appears to be a tagging mismatch; state and local procurement activity under this UNSPSC designation does not reflect the facial nerve extraction procedure its name suggests.
