UNSPSC 85681046: Removal of drainage device from nasal bone, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from nasal bone, external 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 0NPBX0Z

UNSPSC 85681046 Removal of drainage device from nasal bone, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving nasal drainage device removal—does not match the work actually being solicited under it in the available record.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code span unrelated health services procurement: independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP, due October 16, 2026); surgical procedure carve-out benefits management for employee PPO plans (City of Long Beach, RFP, due October 7, 2026); occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP, due October 9, 2026); emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI, due September 25, 2026); pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP, due April 9, 2026); and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFP, due October 7, 2026). These solicitations involve benefits administration, occupational health compliance, juvenile detention medical care, pharmaceutical management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve the removal of nasal drainage devices. The code appears to have been misapplied to health services procurement categories; recent activity under this UNSPSC does not reflect its procedural scope, and the code warrants scrutiny for reclassification in state and local procurement systems.
