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 09BN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85563518 Excision of nasopharynx, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the medical services and staffing work currently solicited under this taxonomy designation by state and local jurisdictions. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical services for detained youth, and independent medical examinations — none of which constitute surgical nasopharyngeal procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, operating the Washington State Ferries), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and special-purpose districts (Phoenix Fire Pension Board, Phoenix Police Pension Board). State and local jurisdictions appear to be using this code as a catch-all for diverse clinical and medical administration services rather than as a procedure-specific designation.

Recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, with a five-year contract maximum of $750,000. Washington State Ferries issued RFP RFP20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals and locations statewide. The City of Long Beach issued RFP HR26753 (due October 7, 2026) for specialty surgical Centers of Excellence and bundled payment carve-out programs. Santa Clara County Health System issued RFSQHHSFY270052 (due October 7, 2026) to establish a multi-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. Collier County issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending, with an April 9, 2026 deadline. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation activity suggests this code carries little relevance to surgical procedure procurement in the state and local market.
