This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right external ear with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 09U0XKZ

UNSPSC 85561417 Supplement right external ear with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve ear surgery, tissue substitutes, or the otologic procedures the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this code does not see meaningful state and local procurement activity.

The opportunities that do appear under the code—Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (posted April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026)—represent general healthcare administration and service delivery rather than surgical supplies or tissue-substitute products. The geographic spread across Georgia, Florida, and California reflects the incidental location of these multiservice healthcare opportunities, not concentrations of relevant procurement under the code's nominal scope. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for these general healthcare opportunities and monitor whether this code generates solicitations for actual ear implants, tissue substitutes, or related otologic products in future cycles.
