UNSPSC 85562715: Extirpation of matter from right sphenoid sinus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right sphenoid sinus, 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 09CW0ZZ

UNSPSC 85562715 Extirpation of matter from right sphenoid sinus, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its surgical-procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and clinical staffing arrangements that fall outside the scope of surgical procedures on the sphenoid sinus. The code appears to have been misapplied to these solicitations by issuing bodies tagging healthcare procurement broadly without drilling to the appropriate commodity level.

The mismatch reflects a wider indexing gap rather than genuine market activity. Across the six records, issuing bodies include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), two cities (Long Beach and Washington State Ferries' parent agency), a county juvenile justice department (Harris County), a county government (Collier County), and a regional health system (Santa Clara County), spanning Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. None of these solicitations involves surgical intervention on the sphenoid sinus or any related surgical procedure. State and local buyers using this code should verify their UNSPSC classification before responding; procurement officers should route actual sphenoid sinus surgical work to appropriate medical or surgical-procedure codes.
