UNSPSC 85563426: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from nose, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from nose, 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 09PK07Z

UNSPSC 85563426 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from nose, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — removal of tissue grafts via open nasal approach — but the recent opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and specialty surgical carve-out programs. None of these procurements concern autologous tissue removal or nasal surgery; instead they reflect demand for occupational health services, health plan administration, clinical staffing, and medical evaluation coordination across public health systems, county human resources, state transportation agencies, and city pension offices.

The source shows no procurement activity that substantively matches the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state and local databases or a misapplication of the code to medical and health administration services outside surgical procedure materials or techniques. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for pursuit purposes under its current definition. The opportunities appearing in the recent block — particularly the Washington State Ferries occupational surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing request (due October 7, 2026), and the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) — are substantially distinct from surgical tissue removal and appear to be miscoded rather than representative examples of buying under this Commodity code.
