UNSPSC 85563627: Destruction of nasopharynx, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of nasopharynx, percutaneous endoscopic 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 095N4ZZ

UNSPSC 85563627 Destruction of nasopharynx, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure for nasopharyngeal tissue removal—does not match the healthcare services actually being solicited by state and local bodies in the recent opportunities block. The six most recent state and local postings tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve nasopharyngeal destruction or percutaneous endoscopic surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are using this code to classify healthcare services more broadly than its commodity definition supports.

Geographic spread across the recent opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), indicating scattered national activity but no concentration in any single state or region. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, city and county human resources departments, state transportation agencies, health systems, and juvenile probation departments—a wide mix of healthcare-adjacent purchasing functions rather than clinical surgery procurement. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) managing approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel, the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The absence of surgical procedure procurement under this code warrants clarification of whether opportunities are being miscoded or whether the commodity definition no longer reflects procurement practice in this space.
