UNSPSC 85563520: Drainage of nasopharynx, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of nasopharynx, 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 099N3ZZ

UNSPSC 85563520 Drainage of nasopharynx, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose abstract name bears no relationship to the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities show no solicitations for nasopharyngeal drainage procedures or any related clinical interventions. Instead, the code has been applied to a diverse set of health-related service procurements: independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance programs, specialty surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and inpatient services for detained youth, and associated administrative functions. The issuing bodies are state departments, counties, and municipal governments, predominantly health systems and benefit administrators rather than clinical service providers. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity signals either systemic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a placeholder assignment by issuing offices that do not maintain granular health-services taxonomies aligned with UNSPSC. The code shows no signal of relevance to firms offering drainage procedures or related surgical interventions.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, requiring board-certified occupational physicians and 24/7 technical support. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RTMRFP26001) requested independent medical evaluation and records summarization services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a response deadline of October 16, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052) established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed volume. No recent opportunities directly align with the code's stated clinical procedure scope, and pursuit under this code would require verification that the issuing body actually seeks the service named rather than relying on the UNSPSC assignment alone.
