UNSPSC 85562911: Excision of nasal turbinate, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 09BL3ZZ

UNSPSC 85562911 Excision of nasal turbinate, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities show little purchasing activity aligned with that scope. The code appears in the taxonomy for medical procedure classification, yet the recent solicitations posted under this code do not target nasal turbinate excision services. Instead, state and local bodies are soliciting occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve nasal turbinate procedures. This represents a significant mismatch between the code's nominal description and the work actually being solicited.

The six recent opportunities spanning July through September 2026 originate from diverse issuing bodies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. These solicitations are concentrated in Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent activity includes WSDOT's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, seeking disability benefit record summaries and physician examinations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Given the absence of nasal turbinate excision procurement signals in these opportunities, this code warrants careful verification against actual state and local buying patterns before pursuing.
