This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of nasal turbinate via natural or artificial opening synthetic 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 09RL8JZ

UNSPSC 85562412 Replacement of nasal turbinate via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show no alignment with nasal surgery or procedural supplies. Instead, the opportunities reflect a broader medical services procurement pattern: disability medical evaluation coordination, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical networks through Centers of Excellence, emergency and inpatient hospital services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. The code shows little recent activity directly related to its abstract scope. The issuing bodies are mixed state and local health systems, county human resources and pension offices, county probation departments, and transit authorities — no standout repeat buyers appear in the recent record.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determination for public safety personnel, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid on August 31, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). The code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity diverge substantially, signaling either mislabeling in the tagging system or that this UNSPSC category receives sporadic, miscoded entries rather than consistent assignment to relevant opportunities.
