UNSPSC 85562618: Resection of nasal turbinate, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of nasal turbinate, 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 09TL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85562618 "Resection of nasal turbinate, open approach" is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit surgical procedures but instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve nasal turbinate resection or similar surgical interventions. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to health services and benefits administration opportunities rather than surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include state health departments, county human resources and pension boards, city retirement offices, and regional health systems—Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation / Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no dominant concentration. Representative recent opportunities include Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Given the consistent mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being procured, vendors should verify code accuracy during opportunity evaluation rather than assume surgical procedure relevance.
