UNSPSC 85562600: Structures of the nose, open approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the nose with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 09.

UNSPSC 85562600 Structures of the nose, open approach-part A is a Class code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title suggests surgical or clinical intervention related to nasal structures, yet the five recent opportunities posted under it comprise comprehensive inmate medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which address nasal procedures or surgeries. State and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities under the code without clear relevance to its stated commodity scope. The issuing bodies span county health systems and detention authorities (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California) and municipal fire services (Santa Monica Fire Department, California), indicating a mix of county human resources departments, county health boards, and public safety agencies rather than concentrations in surgical or procedural procurement.

Activity appears dispersed across Florida, Georgia, and California, with no state showing repeated recent issuance under this code. Representative opportunities include Muscogee County Prison's RFP No. 26-0008 (due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services covering 576 inmates at approximately $95,537.71 monthly under the current contract; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 (due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million; Monroe County's RFP (due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members; and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP 455 (due October 16, 2025) for a fire department medical director. The mismatch between the code's stated focus and the actual scope of work being procured suggests this code is either miscoded by issuing bodies or serves as a catch-all for health services procurement that does not fit more specific UNSPSC categories. Firms should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities posted under it, as the recent activity does not reflect surgical or procedural work related to nasal structures.
