UNSPSC 85561224: Extirpation of matter from right tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 09C77ZZ

UNSPSC 85561224 Extirpation of matter from right tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific otologic surgical procedure — bears no relevance to the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 in the most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities block. Those solicitations address independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None involve tympanic membrane procedures or otolaryngologic surgical services.

The mislabeling appears systematic: state and local procurement offices have tagged these broad healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits-management opportunities under a code intended for a narrow surgical intervention. Recent activity under this code shows no relevant contract opportunities and does not support a pursue recommendation. Firms in occupational medicine, benefits administration, medical staffing, or healthcare program management should monitor this code for corrections or reclassification, but the current tagging renders the code uninformative for sourcing decisions in those service lines.
