UNSPSC 85561056 Supplement right tympanic membrane with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure for tympanic membrane repair. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal scope; the solicitations actually being tracked here span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits management, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these opportunities involve tympanic membrane procedures or otologic surgery. The issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting a broad jurisdictional mix across health-system administration, employee benefits, and detention healthcare rather than surgical procedure procurement.

The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration in any single state. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in how these opportunities were tagged or that this Commodity code does not reflect genuine state and local procurement activity for tympanic membrane repair. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFP for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Absent evidence of actual tympanic membrane procedure procurement under this code, pursue opportunities cautiously and verify coding alignment with issuing bodies before committing resources.
