UNSPSC 85561120: Replacement of right tympanic membrane with autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right tympanic membrane with autologous 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 09R777Z

UNSPSC 85561120 Replacement of right tympanic membrane with autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — repair of the eardrum using patient tissue — yet the six recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, disability medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, specialty surgical benefits and Centers of Excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing qualifications, emergency and inpatient medical services for detained youth, and specialty medical services carve-outs for municipal employees and retirees. None of these solicitations involve tympanic membrane repair or otologic surgery.

The mismatch between code and scope suggests either systematic miscoding at the posting jurisdictions or a data-taxonomy error in the source. No recent state and local opportunities show genuine procurement activity for tympanic membrane repair procedures under this code. The issuing bodies across the misaligned records include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health plans (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county probation systems (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County). Without verifiable recent solicitations for the service the code nominally describes, the code shows no actionable activity for contractors focused on otologic surgical procedures or tissue-substitute supplies at the state and local level.
