UNSPSC 85473724: Extirpation of matter from acoustic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from acoustic 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 00CN4ZZ

UNSPSC 85473724 Extirpation of matter from acoustic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code designation. The six recent opportunities posted under this Commodity code concern independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefits management, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involves surgical extirpation of acoustic nerve matter. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification that has been misapplied or over-tagged in state and local procurement systems to capture broader health services and healthcare administration contracting that falls outside the code's nominal surgical scope.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), two municipalities (Long Beach and an unnamed Harris County entity), a state transportation department (Washington State DOT), a county government (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington across recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State DOT's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award with no guaranteed volume). The code classification mismatch signals that buyers may be mis-coding administrative and occupational health services under an operative procedure code, creating noise for vendors evaluating genuine surgical contracting opportunities.
