UNSPSC 85473703 Destruction of facial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this taxonomy entry. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve facial nerve destruction or endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or that this code is being misapplied as a catch-all for broad health services procurement. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county health systems, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal retirement offices.
