This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of trigeminal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic 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 00BK4ZZ

UNSPSC 85473718 Excision of trigeminal nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work being solicited under recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code include inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical procedures, trigeminal nerve intervention, or percutaneous endoscopic techniques. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification that state and local agencies are using to tag healthcare service procurement, but the actual buying activity spans primary care delivery, pharmacy administration, mental health support, and emergency medical oversight rather than surgical interventions.

The issuing bodies include county commissions (Collier County, Monroe County, Muscogee County in Georgia, and Santa Mateo County in California) and municipal departments (Santa Monica Fire Department), reflecting a mix of corrections, human resources healthcare consortiums, county health benefits administration, and emergency services. Recent opportunities span Florida (Collier and Monroe counties), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with posting dates between February and April 2026 and response deadlines ranging from April through July 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP (due May 15, 2026, current monthly cost $95,537.71 with incumbent CorrectHealth Companies LLC), the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP (due April 9, 2026, covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual spending around $8.7 million), and the Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care RFP (due April 16, 2026, covering approximately 2,300 county members with an October 1, 2026 effective date). The code shows little alignment between its nominal surgical classification and the actual healthcare administration and service delivery work being purchased; firms evaluating this code should verify directly with issuing bodies whether surgical or procedural spending exists beneath this classification or whether the tagging reflects administrative miscoding.
