UNSPSC 85473719: Excision of facial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of facial 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 00BM4ZZ

UNSPSC 85473719 Excision of facial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with minimal relevance to actual buying activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect a fundamentally different scope: independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. These solicitations address program administration, staffing coordination, and benefits design rather than the performance of facial nerve surgery itself.

The issuing bodies span a mix of city and county human resources departments, transit authorities, and county health systems. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (on behalf of fire and police pension boards) posted an RFP for disability medical record summaries and independent medical examination scheduling with a response deadline of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a response deadline of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program with responses due October 7, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth with responses due September 25, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited a qualified vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing across multiple ancillary categories with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Collier County Commissioners issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services. Recent activity concentrates in California, Washington State, Arizona, Texas, and Florida, with no identifiable pattern suggesting the code accurately captures the services being procured.
