UNSPSC 85562625: Replacement of nasal septum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of nasal septum with autologous 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 09RM07Z

UNSPSC 85562625, Replacement of nasal septum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code whose recent state and local activity shows no direct alignment with the narrow clinical procedure it nominally describes. The solicitations tagged under this code instead reflect broader occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve nasal septum procedures or their surgical alternatives. This appears to be a data-classification mismatch rather than a reliable signal of procurement activity under the code's stated scope; state and local jurisdictions tagging these opportunities may be using the code incorrectly or applying it as a catch-all placeholder for medical services more broadly.

The issuing bodies span state agencies, county health systems, cities, and independent school or special districts: the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, City of Long Beach, City of Phoenix Retirement Office, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent activity clusters in California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry employees across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026, cost-weighted scoring emphasizing occupational medicine board certification), the City of Phoenix's disability medical evaluation services RFP for pension applicants (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 specialty categories including audiology, radiology, orthopedic services, and surgical support (due October 7, 2026). Given the code-scope mismatch, this code warrants review for potential reclassification in the source system rather than pursuit based on current tagging practices.
