UNSPSC 85563508: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from nose, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from nose, percutaneous 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 09PK3KZ

UNSPSC 85563508 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from nose, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The code's nominal classification references a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tissue substitute removal or ENT procedures. This fundamental mismatch between the code's stated clinical focus and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic tagging error or that the code is being applied to a broader healthcare administration and benefits management classification than its name implies.

The issuing bodies span a diverse mix of state agencies, counties, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Specific recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for public safety disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, with maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach requesting a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for city employees and retirees (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners issuing an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department also posted an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). Given the code's procedure-specific name and the absence of tissue substitute or ENT-related solicitations, this code should be treated with caution for business development purposes unless the upstream tagging system is known to operate at a higher level of generalization.
