This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement nasal septum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach. 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 09UM0KZ

UNSPSC 85562602 Supplement nasal septum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this classification. Recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's nominal description of a specific surgical procedure. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), reflecting a mix of general-purpose jurisdictions, health systems, and specialized administrative agencies. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all for various medical services and staffing procurement rather than for nasal septum augmentation supplies or procedures.

The geographic spread spans Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California based on recent activity. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (posted September 16, 2026; due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determination across 75 annual cases at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (posted August 25, 2026; due October 9, 2026) with a pre-bid conference on August 31; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (posted July 7, 2026; due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope; the mismatch between the code name and the actual work being bought suggests either classification error at the issuing body level or systematic misapplication of this code to unrelated medical services procurement.
