UNSPSC 85473943: Transfer facial nerve to abducens nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer facial nerve to abducens nerve, open 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 00XM0ZL

UNSPSC 85473943 Transfer facial nerve to abducens nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity currently being solicited under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a specific surgical nerve-transfer procedure. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities have been tagged to the code or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how certain state and local jurisdictions classify healthcare-related solicitations.

The opportunities themselves span multiple issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), with recent activity concentrated in 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) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the code's surgical procedure specificity and the absence of any procurement activity matching that scope, this code shows little relevant recent state and local opportunity.
