UNSPSC 85561231: Excision 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 excision 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 09B78ZZ

UNSPSC 85561231 Excision of right tympanic membrane via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—bear no relationship to tympanic membrane procedures. The code appears to have been assigned to health services procurement opportunities in error or through a taxonomy classification failure, and the code does not represent a meaningful market segment for state and local buyers.

No state and local solicitations tracked under this code address endoscopic otologic surgery or related tympanic membrane procedures. The opportunities shown span municipal employee health benefits (Long Beach), pension system medical evaluations (Phoenix), occupational health surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), county detention health services (Harris County), pharmacy management (Collier County), and temporary clinical staffing pools (Santa Clara County Health System)—none of which align with the code's nominal procedure scope. Until a data correction resolves the taxonomy mismatch, this code should not be treated as actionable for firms specializing in otologic or surgical services.
