UNSPSC 85563512: Removal of drainage device from nose, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device 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 09PK30Z

UNSPSC 85563512 Removal of drainage device from nose, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local contract opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific clinical procedure, yet the recent solicitations posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record summary preparation, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefit programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve nasal drainage device removal. State and local procurement offices have misapplied this code to a broader set of health services contracting activity that belongs under codes for health administration, occupational health services, or staffing arrangements rather than under a specific procedural UNSPSC.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include state health departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city retirement and human resources offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and independent healthcare procurement entities. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no single state or region dominating activity. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's misclassification limits its utility for business development targeting and suggests vendors should monitor the underlying health services and employee benefits codes rather than rely on this code for relevant opportunity identification.
