This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of neurostimulator lead into cranial 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 00HE4MZ

UNSPSC 85473731 Insertion of neurostimulator lead into cranial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's clinical descriptor refers to a specific neurosurgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employee health plans. None of these solicitations involve neurostimulator implantation or cranial nerve procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source database or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement when more precise UNSPSC mappings are unavailable.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities are municipal and county health systems and pension administrators: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for fire and police pension boards; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) across 13 ancillary clinical specialties on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis. The code displays no coherent procurement activity aligned to its stated clinical definition.
