UNSPSC 85561018: Revision of intraluminal device in right ear, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of intraluminal device in right ear, via natural or artificial opening. 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 09WH7DZ

UNSPSC 85561018 Revision of intraluminal device in right ear, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—surgical revision of an ear device—does not align with the state and local opportunities tagged under it. Recent solicitations under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve intraluminal device revision or otologic surgery.

The mismatch suggests that the code assignment reflects a data-tagging anomaly rather than active state and local procurement demand for the procedure itself. Issuers across Arizona, California, Washington State, Florida, and Texas are using this code for medical services and staffing programs unrelated to the UNSPSC definition. Without properly categorized opportunities, this code does not offer a reliable signal of state and local procurement intent in its stated commodity area.
