UNSPSC 85562857 Extirpation of matter from left ethmoid sinus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. Recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve ethmoid sinus procedures. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedure nomenclature and the administrative and occupational health services being purchased by state and local governments. This appears to reflect a cataloging error rather than genuine procurement activity in the stated specialty procedure area.

Activity under this code spans state health systems, county governments, and municipal retirement boards across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no evidence of concentrated sourcing. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeking board-certified occupational medicine providers across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026). The code currently shows little actionable procurement activity aligned with its stated Commodity definition, and bid pursuit here would require clarification with the issuing body on the actual service scope intended.
