This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left ear, 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 09PJ8KZ

UNSPSC 85561129 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left ear, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The UNSPSC designation appears to be a medical procedure code misaligned with actual state and local government buying patterns under this code number. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for state transportation employees, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, and information requests for specialty medical services in a juvenile detention setting. None of these solicitations involve the removal of nonautologous tissue substitutes from the ear or any otologic surgical procedure removal services. The opportunities instead reflect broader health benefits administration, occupational and disability medical evaluation, and staffing procurement activities typical of state departments, counties, and cities managing employee and beneficiary healthcare.

The geographic spread of these misaligned opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), and Florida (Collier County), with activity originating from state transportation agencies, municipal retirement offices, county health systems, and county procurement divisions. The representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years and an October 16, 2026 response deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a two-year term and options through year seven, due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitations, this code warrants further clarification through source documentation before pursuing activity under this designation.
