UNSPSC 85562410: Reposition nasal turbinate, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 09SL7ZZ

UNSPSC 85562410 Reposition nasal turbinate, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations show little alignment with this narrow clinical taxonomy. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code reflect a broader procurement landscape spanning occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical procedure networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involves nasal turbinate repositioning. The issuing bodies are primarily large metropolitan health systems and county government agencies managing employee benefits, workforce health programs, and public safety retirement benefits; these include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (managing public safety pension medical evaluations), the County of Santa Clara Health System (establishing temporary health professional staffing pools), the City of Long Beach (managing employee surgical benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health for ferries employees), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (detention healthcare), and Collier County (pharmacy benefit administration). The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most substantial recent opportunities posted in California and Washington.

Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026, requiring board-certified occupational physicians; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension applicants with proposals due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows little recent relevant activity — the mismatch between the Commodity's nominal scope and the actual work being procured under this classification suggests either a data-tagging anomaly or a jurisdiction-specific coding practice that diverges from standard UNSPSC application.
