This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of right 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 09J77ZZ

UNSPSC 85561216 Inspection of right tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the state and local opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code do not involve tympanic membrane inspection; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record summarization, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit administration, and youth detention healthcare — none of which are otologic diagnostic services.

The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) represent the most clinically aligned opportunities in the recent block, but both center on comprehensive occupational and disability medical evaluations rather than tympanic membrane examination. No recent state or local procurement activity directly solicits tympanic membrane inspection services or otologic diagnostic work under this code. The code appears to be a data-entry or tagging error in the procurement records reviewed, and does not reflect meaningful current activity in state and local markets for the service its name describes.
