UNSPSC 85563416: Replacement of nasopharynx with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of nasopharynx with synthetic substitute, open 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 09RN0JZ

UNSPSC 85563416 Replacement of nasopharynx with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The code's name describes a specific surgical intervention, but the six recent state and local opportunities posted between July and September 2026 instead solicit health services administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, and surgical procedure carve-out network services—none of which involve nasopharyngeal reconstruction or implantable synthetic devices. This mismatch suggests the code has been tagged to opportunities for which it is not the appropriate classifier, or the opportunities represent misclassified state and local healthcare procurement.

The recent solicitations do span multiple issuing bodies and states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits management for city employees, RFP due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, ITB due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing across multiple specialties, RFP due October 7, 2026). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Because no recent opportunity actually involves nasopharyngeal procedures or implantable devices, this code does not currently represent actionable state and local procurement activity in its intended scope.
