This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of nasal turbinate, via natural or artificial opening. 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 09TL7ZZ

UNSPSC 85562408 Resection of nasal turbinate, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical procedure scope and the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not solicit surgical procedures or ENT services; instead, they reflect a wide range of health-benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, disability evaluation, and clinical staffing services. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to several unrelated health-services solicitations, suggesting either indexing error or misalignment in the tagging infrastructure for these opportunities.

State and local issuing bodies active under this code in recent months include city retirement systems, counties managing employee benefits and detention health services, regional transit authorities, and county health systems. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach sought proposals for a surgical benefit carve-out program managing Centers of Excellence networks for its PPO plan (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's Ferries division requested occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for hospital-based emergency and specialty services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing including therapy, audiology, and surgical/OR services (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The code shows no coherent procurement activity related to its stated commodity definition and should be considered inactive for nasal turbinate resection services.
