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 09BKXZZ

UNSPSC 85563324 Excision of nose, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it in the source material. The five most recent solicitations under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these opportunities involve excision of nose procedures or related surgical services; instead, they reflect comprehensive healthcare administration, management, and provider contracting. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual procurement scope suggests either tagging error or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for healthcare-related opportunities that do not fit the surgical nomenclature.

The issuing bodies span county governments (Muscogee County Prison in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, and Santa Mateo County in California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department in California), with no school districts, state departments, or transit authorities represented in the recent block. Geographic activity centers on Florida and California, with Georgia and California also present. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP628 for virtual primary care and 24/7 urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code does not reflect meaningful procurement activity aligned with its stated clinical definition and warrants reclassification review by the issuing procurement offices.
