UNSPSC 85563321: Reattachment of nose, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of 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 09MKXZZ

UNSPSC 85563321 Reattachment of nose, external approach is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect minimal alignment with its nominal surgical scope. State and local jurisdictions are instead using this code to solicit occupational medical surveillance, disability evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which are nasal reattachment procedures. The issuing bodies include city and county healthcare systems, retirement boards, and state transportation departments; none of the six recent opportunities actually describe nose reattachment work or related otolaryngologic procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code is being applied to broader medical service categories without regard to its Commodity-level specificity.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026 via RFP RTMRFP26001); the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations ($750,000 maximum over two years, due October 9, 2026 via RFP RFP20260825); and the City of Long Beach is seeking surgical benefit carve-out management for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Collier County in Florida issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414), and Santa Clara County Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Unless your firm specializes in medical evaluation administration, occupational health surveillance, or pharmacy benefit management, the code shows limited relevant opportunity; if you pursue this code, verify the actual service category with the issuing body before investing proposal resources.
