UNSPSC 85562710: Extraction of nasal septum, 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 09DM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85562710 Extraction of nasal septum, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its nominal surgical-procedure scope and the recent state and local contracting activity tagged under it. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 involve independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), and temporary clinical staffing across ancillary health professional categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations describe or purchase nasal septum extraction procedures or any specific surgical procedures. The issuing bodies span state departments, county governments, and large municipal health systems, but their actual procurement activity lies in medical administration, benefit management, and staffing services rather than in surgical interventions themselves.

This code shows little relevant recent activity. The mismatch between the code's stated focus — a specific ENT surgical procedure — and the diverse administrative and staffing services actually being purchased by state and local health agencies suggests either erroneous code assignment by procurement offices or a fundamental category misalignment. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for direct surgical-service contracting and instead track the underlying administrative and staffing codes under which these same agencies are currently soliciting.
