UNSPSC 85563232: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from nose, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from nose, via natural or artificial opening. 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 09PK7KZ

UNSPSC 85563232 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from nose, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that exhibits minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical medical nomenclature—referring to surgical removal of synthetic nasal tissue substitutes—does not match the scope of work actually being solicited under this classification in the public record.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-outs, and emergency youth detention healthcare services. None of these activities involve removal of nasal tissue substitutes or related otolaryngological procedures. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries solicitation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requests occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals—a capability-and-scheduling challenge distinct from the code's nominal scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) focuses on disability medical record summary and examination coordination for pension applicants, likewise unrelated to nasal surgical removal. Similar scope mismatches appear in the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out solicitation and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP. The code appears to be a tagging artifact rather than an active procurement category; state and local bodies do not routinely solicit standalone nasal tissue-substitute removal services as a standalone contracting line item. No issuing bodies show repeat activity under this code, and the recent opportunities offer no decision signal for business development focused on the code's actual technical scope.
