UNSPSC 85563331: Alteration of nose with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of nose with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 090KXKZ

UNSPSC 85563331 Alteration of nose with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which involve rhinoplasty or nasal reconstruction with synthetic tissue. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities were tagged or that the code's application in state and local procurement does not reflect its clinical definition. The issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county commissions, and county juvenile probation agencies, but the work they are actually soliciting does not map to the procedural scope the code describes.

The recent opportunities cluster geographically across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with response dates ranging from September 2026 through April 2027. No recent opportunities in the source material involve nasal surgery, reconstructive procedures, or tissue substitutes of any kind. Given the absence of procurement activity genuinely aligned with the code's nominal scope, firms evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local business development purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any actual work in occupational health services, benefits management, or medical staffing before pursuing opportunities posted under this number.
