This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right ear, external approach. 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 09WHXJZ

UNSPSC 85561407 Revision of synthetic substitute in right ear, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities the source records. The code nominally describes otologic surgical procedures, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and evaluation coordination, surgical benefit management for government employees, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve ear prosthetics or otologic revision surgery. The mismatch between code name and actual procurement scope suggests either a data-entry or tagging error in the underlying opportunity records.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity appears in Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to review disability benefit applications for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance contract for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's request to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows active but scattered procurement activity unrelated to its stated scope; no meaningful pursuit strategy can be developed without clarification of the correct UNSPSC classification for these opportunities.
