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 09BL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85562737 Excision of nasal turbinate, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—surgical procedures—does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The six opportunities posted since late July 2026 span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out network administration, and emergency/specialty inpatient care for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve nasal turbinate excision or any surgical procedure matching the code's stated scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure title and the actual work being solicited suggests either tagging error or broad misapplication of the code to general healthcare services and benefits administration.

Issuing bodies in the small sample span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), with response dates clustered between September 25 and October 16, 2026. The City of Phoenix is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with a $750,000 maximum over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, though the code's misalignment with actual procurement scope limits its utility for business development targeting surgical services.
