UNSPSC 85562812: Replacement of nasal turbinate with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of nasal turbinate with synthetic substitute, percutaneous 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 09RL3JZ

UNSPSC 85562812 Replacement of nasal turbinate with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—endoscopic nasal turbinate replacement using synthetic implants—yet the most-recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare, none of which match the code's narrow procedural scope. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities incorrectly or used the code as a catch-all for medical services outside its actual definition. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county boards of commissioners (Collier County), reflecting the typical diversity of health-benefit and occupational-health purchasing across state and local government.

Recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the mismatch between the code's procedural definition and the work being solicited suggests this code carries minimal predictive value for business development targeting state and local health services procurement. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) represent the most substantive recent postings, but neither involves nasal turbinate procedures. No opportunities directly soliciting synthetic turbinate implants or related ENT surgical supplies appear in the recent records. Practitioners pursuing contracts in state and local health procurement should verify the actual UNSPSC codes used by target agencies rather than rely on this code's nominal scope.
