UNSPSC 85561058: Supplement right tympanic membrane with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right tympanic membrane with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 09U77KZ

UNSPSC 85561058 (Supplement right tympanic membrane with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening) is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with recent state and local contract opportunities. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving placement of synthetic or donor-derived tissue on the right eardrum, yet the recent solicitations tracked under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve tympanic membrane supplementation or otologic procedures.

The mismatch between the code's technical surgical scope and the opportunities posted under it suggests either a data classification error in state and local procurement systems or inconsistent code assignment across jurisdictions. The opportunities posted include evaluation services from Phoenix, Long Beach, Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County, and the Washington State Department of Transportation—a geographically dispersed set of issuing bodies—but none target the specific procedure described in the code's name. Firms evaluating this code should confirm the actual scope with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities or flag the classification discrepancy with their procurement resources.
