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 09WJXKZ

UNSPSC 85561401 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left ear, external approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with its nominal scope of surgical tissue revision. Instead, the opportunities reflect a mismatch: state and local issuing bodies are procuring occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefits carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve tissue substitute procedures. The code's tagging appears to be a cataloging artifact rather than a reflection of actual procurement activity, and the opportunities listed do not substantively inform what is being bought under the tissue revision commodity itself.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing-body types. The Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability benefit evaluations), City of Long Beach (surgical benefits program), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention healthcare), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing) represent state departments, city retirement and human resources offices, county probation and procurement divisions, and county health systems. Geographic activity is concentrated in Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Given the evident disconnect between the Commodity code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent procurement activity in state and local markets.
