UNSPSC 85681376: Extirpation of matter from nasal bone, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from nasal bone, open 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 0NCB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85681376 Extirpation of matter from nasal bone, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve nasal bone procedures or surgical interventions matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities cover occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and other employee health benefits administration. These solicitations are administrative and benefits-management work rather than surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose health systems. No pattern of repeat buyers emerges from the limited recent activity under this code.

The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), which covers baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations with a two-year term and optional extensions; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), valued at $750,000 over five years to support disability pension determinations for approximately 75 annual applications; and the City of Long Beach's request for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) serving approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the nominal surgical procedure category and the actual health benefits administration and occupational health work posted under it suggests either a tagging error in the source database or that this code is not the appropriate classification for current state and local health services procurement.
