UNSPSC 85561442: Removal of synthetic substitute from left ear, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left 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 09PJXJZ

UNSPSC 85561442 Removal of synthetic substitute from left ear, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with state and local procurement activity documented in recent opportunities. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical procedure code for otologic implant removal. The recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code instead solicit occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which involve ear surgery or synthetic implant removal. This mismatch suggests the code was applied in error during classification of the underlying opportunities, or the opportunities were tagged with an unrelated clinical procedure code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being procured.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state departments, county health systems, cities, and county probation agencies across multiple states including Washington, California, Texas, Arizona, and Florida, but their procurement activity does not reflect the nominal scope of UNSPSC 85561442. The code shows little to no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.
