UNSPSC 85561104: Resection of right tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening

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. 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 09T77ZZ

UNSPSC 85561104 Resection of right tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities tagged under this code across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida solicit independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tympanic membrane resection or ENT surgical services. The mismatch suggests systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement system rather than active buying under this surgical-procedure Commodity.

State and local issuing bodies (the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System) are using this code to tag administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and workforce staffing, not surgical procedures. Firms pursuing actual tympanic membrane resection work should not rely on this code for market intelligence and should instead verify the correct UNSPSC classification through direct engagement with individual procurement offices or by reviewing historical awards in their target jurisdictions.
