UNSPSC 85563155: Destruction of right sphenoid sinus, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right sphenoid sinus, percutaneous endoscopic 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 095W4ZZ

UNSPSC 85563155, Destruction of right sphenoid sinus, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, independent disability medical evaluations, and emergency youth detention medical services—none of which align with sinus surgery. This represents a classification mismatch in which state and local procurement systems have tagged diverse healthcare management and staffing services under a procedure-specific code, signaling either data quality issues or overly broad internal tagging practices by issuing bodies. State and local governments buying under this code designation are acquiring administrative healthcare services, staffing solutions, and benefits program management rather than surgical procedures.

Issuing bodies span county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation agencies, county juvenile detention authorities, and county commissioners' offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, proposals due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026). The geographic activity concentrates in Arizona, California, and Washington, with secondary activity in Florida and Texas. The code shows material recent activity, but the mismatch between its surgical procedure title and the administrative and staffing services actually being procured makes it unsuitable for business development targeting surgical or procedural services.
