UNSPSC 85561113: Replacement of left tympanic membrane with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left tympanic membrane with synthetic 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 09R87JZ

UNSPSC 85561113 Replacement of left tympanic membrane with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that names a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it do not involve tympanic membrane replacement or otologic surgery. Instead, the opportunities reflect a broader and misaligned classification: they cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record reviews, pharmacy benefit management, surgical Centers of Excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly or as a generic procedural placeholder by issuing offices rather than as a true match to the underlying clinical work. No state or local solicitations in the recent-opportunities block actually procure tympanic membrane replacement services or related otologic supplies.

Given this classification mismatch, the code shows no actionable procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. Vendors pursuing tympanic membrane replacement products or otologic surgical services should not rely on this code to identify relevant state and local opportunities; the recent postings do not target that market. The issuing bodies represented—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 sourcing administrative health services, staffing, and care coordination rather than specific surgical implants or procedural supplies.
