UNSPSC 85563239: Insertion of airway into nasopharynx, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of airway into nasopharynx, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 09HN8BZ

UNSPSC 85563239 Insertion of airway into nasopharynx, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific clinical procedure, yet the state and local contract opportunities tagged under it encompass disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve nasopharyngeal airway insertion. The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the actual procurements suggests misclassification by issuing bodies rather than a genuine purchasing pattern under this code.

The opportunities that do appear span city retirement offices, municipal health plans, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, county health consortia, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool (due October 7, 2026). State and local procurement activity tagged to this code does not align with its procedural definition.
