UNSPSC 85562605: Supplement nasal turbinate with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement nasal turbinate 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 09UL0KZ

UNSPSC 85562605 Supplement nasal turbinate with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific nasal surgical procedure using synthetic tissue — does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The six most recent state and local solicitations tagged to the code cover independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these represent procurement for the nasal turbinate procedure itself or related implant materials.

This code mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are using the code in a manner unrelated to its UNSPSC taxonomy definition. No representative solicitations for nasal turbinate implants, ENT surgical supplies, or related otolaryngology products appear in the recent activity block. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify the actual scope of work before pursuing opportunities tagged to 85562605, as the nominal code definition and the work actually being bought under it diverge significantly.
