UNSPSC 85563528: Alteration of nose with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of nose with synthetic substitute, 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 090K3JZ

UNSPSC 85563528 Alteration of nose with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification do not align with that definition. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve nasal reconstruction or synthetic nasal implants. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities were tagged or that state and local procurement offices are using this code outside its intended scope.

The six recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System—across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Response dates cluster between September and October 2026, with the Phoenix and Washington opportunities showing the most concrete scope detail and defined contract terms. Given the categorical mismatch and the absence of genuine nasal-reconstruction procurement signals, this code does not merit active pursuit for vendors offering implant devices, surgical supplies, or procedure-related services.
