UNSPSC 85563164: Destruction of nasal turbinate, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of nasal turbinate, 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 095L4ZZ

UNSPSC 85563164 Destruction of nasal turbinate, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code are procuring health plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, disability medical evaluations, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve nasal turbinate destruction or any surgical procedures matching the code's title. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that this code is not the appropriate taxonomy classification for the opportunities posted under it. State and local buyers using this code include county human resources divisions (Collier County), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), state departments of transportation (Washington State DOT), city retirement offices (Phoenix), city procurement bureaus (Long Beach), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation), and county boards of commissioners (Harris County). The issuing bodies span multiple states and multiple issuing-body types.

The geographic spread covers California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicitation (RTMRFP26001, RFP, responses due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicitation (RFP20260825, RFP with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026, responses due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 Washington ferry terminals; the City of Long Beach solicitation (HR26753, RFP, responses due October 7, 2026) for surgical procedure carve-out and Centers of Excellence services under its employee health plan; and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, responses due October 7, 2026) for a qualified vendor pool providing temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 health professional categories. None of these opportunities involves the procedure named in the code. Procurement activity under this code should not be pursued based on the code's nominal scope; the mismatch signals either classification error or that this Commodity code is not a reliable signal for surgical procedure procurement in state and local markets.
