This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left tympanic membrane with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 09U88JZ

UNSPSC 85561050 Supplement left tympanic membrane with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code for a specific surgical procedure — implantation of a synthetic tympanic membrane graft via endoscopic approach. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code, however, do not reflect procurement for that procedure. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. None of these solicitations involve tympanic membrane implants or ENT surgical procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities appear to reflect broad health services procurement that has been misfiled or tagged incorrectly at the commodity level.

The geographic spread of opportunities across the source includes Washington State (Department of Transportation medical surveillance), Arizona (Phoenix retirement disability evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out and Santa Clara County temporary staffing), Texas (Harris County juvenile detention medical services), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), with responses due between September 2026 and October 2026. Given the misalignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations, activity under this code warrants close scrutiny before pursuit.
