UNSPSC 85561428: Replacement of left external ear with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left 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 09R1XKZ

UNSPSC 85561428 (Replacement of left external ear with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope. The six recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code—medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare—involve occupational health programs, employee benefits administration, and general clinical staffing and do not address external ear reconstruction or otologic implant procedures. The code's nominal specification and the work actually being solicited have no apparent connection, suggesting either a data-classification mismatch or minimal procurement activity under the code's true commodity definition.

No state or local jurisdictions have posted recent opportunities for replacement external ear procedures with nonautologous tissue substitutes. The opportunities mistakenly tagged to this code span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), but they address employee health benefits, occupational medicine, and clinical staffing—not surgical reconstruction services. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify commodity misclassification with issuing procurement offices before allocating business development resources; the code appears inactive for its stated purpose as of October 2026.
