UNSPSC 85561103: Resection of right tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right tympanic membrane, 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 09T78ZZ

UNSPSC 85561103 Resection of right tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows no activity aligned with its nominal scope in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — endoscopic tympanic membrane resection — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, and emergency services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve tympanic membrane surgery or otologic procedures. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that state and local procurement systems are using this code as a catchall for broad medical services contracting outside its intended commodity scope.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include city retirement boards, county commissioners, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation, county health systems, and municipal health departments — representing a fragmented buyer base across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The representative opportunities reflect administrative and clinical support services rather than surgical procedures: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with a $750,000 five-year maximum (RFP, responses due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP, responses due October 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple specialties (RFSQ, responses due October 7, 2026). The code does not reflect meaningful procurement volume or strategic activity in tympanic membrane or ENT surgical services within state and local government.
