UNSPSC 85561132: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left ear, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous 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 09PJ87Z

UNSPSC 85561132 (Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left ear, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) is a Commodity code showing no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention emergency and specialty care, pharmacy benefit management services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's specific procedural descriptor of otologic tissue removal via endoscopy.

The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are tagging opportunities with medical and surgical procedure codes that do not reflect the actual work being solicited. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), city employee benefits programs (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county human resources consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). No opportunity in the recent block targets surgical or tissue-removal services, and none appears to be purchasing the specific procedure named in the code. Practitioners pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the actual scope of work in each notice rather than relying on the UNSPSC classification alone.
