UNSPSC 85802502 Removal of nasal packing material is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope suggests medical supplies or procedures for nasal packing removal, yet the opportunities tagged with this code span clinical laboratory testing, drug screening, occupational health examinations, postmortem testing, and pharmacy services—none of which involve nasal packing material or relate to the code's stated category. The mismatch appears systematic rather than isolated; laboratory services, medical examinations, and diagnostic testing dominate the recent solicitations, suggesting either a data-tagging error in the source records or that the code has been repurposed beyond its original definition.

State and local buyers posting opportunities under this code include state health and human services departments (Illinois, Texas, Kentucky, Michigan, Colorado), county governments and medical examiner offices (Brevard County, Harris County, Collier County, Muscogee County), municipal health departments (City of Austin, City of Palm Bay), and school districts (Austin Independent School District, Northside Independent School District). Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Department of State Health Services, and Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs appear multiple times as repeat buyers. No substantive geographic concentration emerges; recent activity spans Texas, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado, North Carolina, and Washington, D.C. Representative solicitations include the Illinois Department of Human Services clinical laboratory services IFB (due August 4, 2026, with 7% BEP goal), Texas HHSC lead sample analysis services IFB (due July 31, 2026, with 26% HUB subcontracting goal), Commonwealth of Kentucky laboratory services for veteran centers RFPs (multiple, due April–June 2026), and Michigan MDHHS clinical laboratory services RFP for psychiatric hospitals (due June 19, 2026). Given the absence of nasal packing material procurement in any recent opportunity, this code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes.
