This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right tympanic membrane with drainage device, 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 099780Z

UNSPSC 85561242 Drainage of right tympanic membrane with drainage device, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific otologic surgical procedure performed on an individual patient; state and local governments do not solicit this service as a line item in public contracting. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, specialty surgical carve-out programs for employee health plans, disability medical evaluations, and emergency services for detained youth — none of which involve tympanic membrane drainage. The mismatch reflects a classification error in the underlying data rather than actual purchasing activity under the Commodity code.

State and local procurement activity tagged to this code occurs across multiple states and issuing bodies, including Collier County, Florida; the City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara in California; Harris County, Texas; the City of Phoenix, Arizona; and the Washington State Department of Transportation. However, this geographic and organizational spread reflects the diversity of the misclassified opportunities, not a coherent procurement market. Bidders should not pursue opportunities under this code without first confirming that the actual scope of work — as stated in the RFP, RFQ, or IFB — matches their service capability. The code itself provides no reliable signal for medical device or procedure-related state and local purchasing.
