UNSPSC 85562777: Destruction of nasal turbinate, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 095L0ZZ

UNSPSC 85562777 Destruction of nasal turbinate, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, specialty healthcare delivery for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve nasal turbinate destruction or align with the procedural specificity the code name suggests. The mismatch indicates this code has captured administrative or classification errors rather than substantive procurement activity matching its clinical definition.

Across the six recent opportunities in the block, issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent work includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications at $750,000 over five years; the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) with no guaranteed volume; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance procurement for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026). The code shows no meaningful recent activity in nasal turbinate surgery procurement and should be reconsidered for relevance against state and local opportunity flow.
