UNSPSC 85561004 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in left ear, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code with a misleading title that bears no relationship to the recent state and local procurement activity it has attracted. The code is being used to tag health services and occupational medical surveillance solicitations — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefits programs, occupational health examinations, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve autologous tissue revision or otologic procedures. The issuing bodies are city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation and health systems, and regional health systems. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the work actually being bought suggests either systematic miscoding by procurement offices or a backend taxonomy issue; the code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated surgical procedure.

The geographic spread across recent posts spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with activity driven primarily by municipal and county health system operations rather than state health departments. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year term), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefits carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Until procurement offices correct the code assignment or your organization has specific expertise in the miscoded service categories appearing under this number, the code warrants monitoring rather than active pursuit.
