UNSPSC 85563421: Repair nasopharynx, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair nasopharynx, 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 09QN0ZZ

UNSPSC 85563421 Repair nasopharynx, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The Commodity code nominally describes surgical procedures on the nasal cavity, but the recent opportunities posted under this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services contracts, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs, and fire department medical director recruitment—none of which involve nasopharyngeal repair or surgical intervention. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the health administration and managed care services being solicited suggests either misclassification at the point of posting or inconsistent tagging across the jurisdictions that have used this code.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of county governments and special-purpose health districts: Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California). The recent opportunities span inmate healthcare contracting (RFP, Muscogee County Prison, due May 15, 2026, current contract value $95,537.71 monthly); pharmacy benefit management for county employees (RFP, Collier County, due April 9, 2026, historical pharmacy spending $8.7 million annually); virtual primary and urgent care for county members (RFP, Monroe County, due April 16, 2026); peer support services for behavioral health workers (RFP, San Mateo County, $580,000 total funding); and medical direction for fire department emergency services (RFP, Santa Monica, due October 16, 2025). Geographic spread includes California, Florida, and Georgia. The code does not represent a coherent procurement category for surgical services and warrants either reclassification or careful verification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
