UNSPSC 85562852: Extraction of nasal turbinate, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of nasal turbinate, 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 09DL3ZZ

UNSPSC 85562852, Extraction of nasal turbinate, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the six most recent state and local opportunities posted under or near this code cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, hospital-based emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve nasal turbinate extraction or any otolaryngologic surgical procedures.

The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the actual scope of recent opportunities suggests either systematic miscoding at the issuing-body level or that this code sits outside active state and local procurement channels. The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are pursuing administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing contracting rather than surgical procedure codes. Without evidence of recent opportunities genuinely soliciting nasal turbinate extraction services or related procedural work, this code does not support a pursue decision at this time.
