UNSPSC 85562711: Extraction of nasal turbinate, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction 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 09DL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85562711 Extraction of nasal turbinate, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve nasal turbinate extraction procedures. The issuing bodies represent a mix of municipal retirement offices, city governments, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county probation authorities, suggesting the code may be incorrectly applied in upstream procurement databases rather than reflecting genuine demand for this specific ENT surgical procedure.

The geographic distribution of these misaligned opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (state-level), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), indicating the tagging issue is not localized to a single jurisdiction or region. Recent RFPs and RFQs include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services (RFP, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance (RFP, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFQ, due October 7, 2026). State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect procurement of nasal turbinate extraction services; vendors evaluating opportunity flow under this UNSPSC classification should verify code assignment with issuing bodies or consider alternative codes focused on surgery scheduling, physician services, or occupational health support.
