This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from nose, external 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 09PKX0Z

UNSPSC 85563319, Removal of drainage device from nose, external approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not match the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The most substantial recent solicitations involve independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve nasal drainage device removal. State and local issuers posting under this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), state departments of transportation (Washington State Ferries), county health systems (Santa Clara), county commissioners' boards (Collier County), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and municipal human resources divisions (Long Beach). The geographic spread encompasses Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida.

Representative recent opportunities demonstrate the mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) solicits occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026, requiring examinations across 14 ferry system locations by physicians board-certified in occupational medicine. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) requests independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to carry substantial classification noise relative to the work state and local governments are actually buying under it.
