UNSPSC 85562951: Destruction of nasal turbinate, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 095L3ZZ

UNSPSC 85562951 Destruction of nasal turbinate, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are currently soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged with this code show no nasal turbinate procedures or otolaryngologic interventions; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical Center of Excellence carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the solicitations posted against it suggests this Commodity code is either incorrectly applied by issuing bodies or has been repurposed to capture broader medical and health services procurement that the code name does not describe.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and public health systems. Activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026 for a $750,000 five-year contract), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between code definition and actual procurement activity, firms should verify the accurate UNSPSC classification before committing resources to pursuit under this code.
