UNSPSC 85561137: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left ear, via natural or artificial opening

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. 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 09PJ77Z

UNSPSC 85561137, Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left ear via natural or artificial opening, is a Commodity code that appears to have no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgery benefit carve-out networks (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System)—represent general healthcare procurement, employee benefits administration, and occupational health services that fall well outside the surgical and otologic scope the code's title suggests. None of these solicitations involve removal of tissue substitutes, ear surgery, or procedural interventions of the type the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies span state departments, county health systems, county pension boards, and municipal retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The code shows little to no relevant recent activity for state and local buyers actually procuring the specific service—autologous tissue substitute removal from the ear—that the code is intended to classify. For firms pursuing state and local contracts in surgical services, tissue management, or otologic procedures, this code does not reflect current buying patterns and warrants monitoring rather than active pursuit at present.
