UNSPSC 85561122: Repair left tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left 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 09Q87ZZ

UNSPSC 85561122 Repair left tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on the left eardrum—does not align with any of the six recent opportunities posted under this code designation. The posted solicitations instead cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tympanic membrane repair or direct surgical services at the procedure level.

The mismatch between the code's technical definition and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic misclassification by the issuing bodies or a data alignment issue in the opportunity records. The opportunities span issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—a geographically dispersed mix of municipal, county, and state health-related purchasers. Given the absence of opportunities genuinely aligned with tympanic membrane repair services, this code shows no actionable market signal for state and local procurement professionals at this time.
