UNSPSC 85473773: Transfer acoustic nerve to facial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer acoustic nerve to 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 00XN4ZM

UNSPSC 85473773 Transfer acoustic nerve to facial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical name refers to a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve acoustic nerve transfer or endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the underlying solicitation records or a data-classification anomaly that renders this code unreliable as a guide to actual procurement patterns in the state and local market.

Recent activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara), county commissioners (Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington), county probation departments (Harris County), and municipal employee benefit programs (Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determination ($750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (responses due October 9, 2026 with cost accounting for 40 percent of scoring), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical service lines (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's disconnect from the actual work being procured, the category does not appear actionable for bid pursuit unless the issuing agencies correct their coding assignments.
