UNSPSC 85563233: Removal of synthetic 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 synthetic 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 09PK7JZ

UNSPSC 85563233 Removal of synthetic substitute from nose, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not align with the code's nominal scope of nasal prosthetic removal procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical definition and how state and local procurement systems are applying it.

State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting nasal prosthetic removal services as standalone procurement items. If purchasing of such services occurs, it is likely embedded within broader healthcare service contracts—hospital systems, urgent care networks, or integrated clinic provider agreements—rather than surfaced as discrete line items or specialty procedure carve-outs. Business development professionals should not rely on this code as a targeting mechanism for state and local opportunities until evidence emerges that issuing bodies are using it consistently and correctly.
