UNSPSC 85561409: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in right ear, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous tissue 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 09WHX7Z

UNSPSC 85561409, Revision of autologous tissue substitute in right ear, external approach (Commodity), does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The recent opportunities show state and local governments soliciting occupational medical surveillance services, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of tissue revision procedures. The issuing bodies span state departments, county governments, cities, and regional health systems: the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System.

Activity is geographically distributed across Washington, Texas, Arizona, California, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (proposals due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years, proposals due October 16, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows substantial recent activity, but the mismatch between the code's procedural name and the operational scope of these solicitations suggests either consistent mis-tagging at the point of posting or a data classification error in the underlying state and local procurement systems.
