This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from right ear, external approach.

UNSPSC 85561449 (Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right ear, external approach) is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure title and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations matching the code's nominal scope — surgical removal of tissue grafts from the ear. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational health surveillance services (medical examinations for ferry workers), disability medical record summarization (public safety pension evaluations), Centers of Excellence surgical networks (carve-out programs for city employees), specialty emergency and inpatient care for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing pools. These are health services and benefits administration work, not the specific otologic procedure the code describes.

State and local issuers using this code in recent months include the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medicine), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability evaluation), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit networks), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency specialty care for detained youth), Collier County Board of Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing). The geographic spread covers Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The code displays no meaningful recent procurement signal in its stated commodity area; entities seeking to pursue activity under this designation should verify scope alignment with individual issuing bodies before pursuing, as the code's clinical definition does not reflect the benefits-administration and occupational-health work currently tagged to it.
