UNSPSC 85562416 Replacement of nasal turbinate via natural or artificial opening autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a highly specialized ENT surgical procedure — bears no relation to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The most recent opportunities solicited under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve nasal turbinate replacement or autologous tissue substitutes. The code shows no active state and local solicitations for the procedure it nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's title and the actual work being purchased suggests either a data classification error in the source system or incidental use of this code for broader medical benefit or administrative services. The issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—a mix of municipal retirement boards, city benefits departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and juvenile justice entities. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. Without genuine ENT procedural activity in the opportunity block, this code does not present a meaningful pursuit vector for firms focused on surgical supplies, implants, or ENT-specific service lines.
