UNSPSC 85561330: Drainage of right eustachian tube via natural or artificial opening drainage device, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right eustachian tube via natural or artificial opening 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 099F80Z

UNSPSC 85561330 (Commodity tier) nominally describes drainage of the right eustachian tube via endoscopic procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the code's clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect a mix of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which directly address eustachian tube drainage procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), and municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), purchasing diverse medical administration, evaluation, and staffing services rather than a specific clinical procedure line.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with a due date of October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with a due date of October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001); the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with a due date of October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052); and Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management services. The code appears to be misaligned with actual procurement activity, and vendors targeting this UNSPSC number should verify whether their medical services fall within the code's nominal scope or whether the recent opportunities represent tagging inconsistency within the source data.
