UNSPSC 85563242: Extirpation of matter from nasopharynx, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from nasopharynx, 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 09CN7ZZ

UNSPSC 85563242 Extirpation of matter from nasopharynx, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal medical procedure scope does not correspond to the opportunities currently posted under this classification.

The recent solicitations tagged to this code are unrelated to nasopharyngeal procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited a carve-out surgical benefit program for Centers of Excellence covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services for employee healthcare (due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities involve nasopharyngeal procedures or extractive procedures of the type the code nominally describes. The posting mismatch suggests the code receives little relevant state and local procurement activity, and business development professionals should verify the correct classification before pursuing work in this category.
