UNSPSC 85561219: Extraction of right tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of right tympanic membrane, 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 09D78ZZ

UNSPSC 85561219 Extraction of right tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect broader health-care administration and staffing services—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve extraction of tympanic membrane tissue or otologic surgery. The mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the opportunities actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed in the state and local taxonomy to flag health-services contracting more broadly.

The issuing bodies are city and county governments and health systems across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic concentration includes California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Texas (Harris County), Florida (Collier County), Washington, and Arizona. Recent opportunities span RFP and RFI notice types with response dates ranging from September through October 2026, with the City of Phoenix seeking independent medical evaluation services (RFP due October 16, 2026), Long Beach requesting surgical benefit carve-out proposals (due October 7, 2026), and WSDOT issuing an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026). Because the recent opportunities do not represent actual demand for the tympanic membrane extraction procedure the code describes, pursuing opportunities under this code on the basis of its nominal scope carries significant risk of misalignment with what jurisdictions are actually buying.
