UNSPSC 85561239: Drainage of left tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left 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 09987ZZ

UNSPSC 85561239 Drainage of left tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific otologic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code — independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — do not involve tympanic membrane drainage or related otologic interventions. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing entities or use of the code as a administrative catch-all for health services broadly rather than the specific procedure the code name denotes.

The opportunities that do appear in the dataset span a mix of state departments, county governments, and regional health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any particular jurisdiction or geography. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County in Florida, the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas, and the City of Long Beach represent isolated one-off solicitations for administrative health services, employee benefits management, and occupational health compliance rather than a coherent procurement stream related to the code's nominal scope. Absent a pattern of actual tympanic membrane drainage solicitations, this code does not represent a viable pursuit opportunity in state and local contracting.
