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 09PK0JZ

UNSPSC 85563424 Removal of synthetic substitute from nose, open approach, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedural title and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this designation. Recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out program administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involves nasal surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems. The code appears to function as a catch-all medical services taxonomy marker rather than a procedure-specific classification, and it does not reflect the procedural scope its name suggests.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, Collier County, Santa Clara County), Washington (WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County), with no dominant regional concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP reflects approximately $8.7 million in annual historical pharmacy spending. This code warrants investigation only if your firm delivers general medical services administration, occupational health programs, or health professional staffing; it does not signal opportunities in nasal or reconstructive surgery.
