UNSPSC 85563442: Alteration of nose with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of nose with nonautologous tissue 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 090K0KZ

UNSPSC 85563442, Alteration of nose with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it address occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve nasal reconstruction with nonautologous materials. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently across jurisdictions or that state procurement systems are using medical procedure codes in ways that diverge significantly from their UNSPSC intent. The issuing bodies in the recent record span a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health system (Santa Clara County), a municipal government (City of Long Beach), and a county board of commissioners (Collier County), indicating that when the code does appear, it attaches to diverse government entities rather than a concentrated buyer base.

Geographic representation is scattered across Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas with no concentration pattern evident. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP HR26753 for surgical benefits carve-out management (due October 7, 2026). The source material does not support interpreting this code as an active procurement area for nasal reconstruction services in state and local markets; the tagged opportunities appear to reflect classification errors rather than genuine demand for the procedure the code describes.
