UNSPSC 85562859 Extirpation of matter from left frontal sinus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The source records six recent opportunities tagged to this code, but none solicit surgical procedures, sinus pathology treatment, or medical device procurement. Instead, the opportunities reflect healthcare administration, employee benefits management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing — functions that fall outside the scope of a surgical procedure code.

The mismatch is substantial. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach procures surgical benefit program administration and Centers of Excellence network management; the Washington State Department of Transportation requests occupational medical surveillance; Harris County seeks emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County seeks pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing. None of these opportunities involve frontal sinus surgery or the procedural instrumentation or implants the code nominally describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity under its stated commodity scope.
