UNSPSC 85562401: Supplement nasal turbinate via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement nasal turbinate via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 09UL8KZ

UNSPSC 85562401, Supplement nasal turbinate via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure code but shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with that clinical scope. The code's recent opportunities instead reflect state and local demand for occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve nasal turbinate procedures. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, through its ferries division), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix). State and local health systems and pension boards are the primary purchasers of the medical services actually being solicited under this code's recent posting.

Geographic activity includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide, due October 9, 2026 (ITB format with cost-based evaluation); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services supporting public safety pension boards, due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical carve-out benefit management and Centers of Excellence coordination for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees, due October 7, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code designation appears to be a classification error; the nasal turbinate procedure code has not been deployed for actual state and local surgical procurement in the available opportunity record.
