UNSPSC 85561506: Reattachment of right external ear, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of right external 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 09M0XZZ

UNSPSC 85561506 Reattachment of right external ear, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical services or otologic procedures. Instead, the tagged solicitations span inmate healthcare management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. These are comprehensive healthcare delivery and administrative functions entirely unrelated to the scope of a discrete surgical reattachment procedure. The issuing bodies include county correctional systems (Muscogee County), county human resources and benefits divisions (Collier County), county health plans (Monroe County), county behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica). No repeat buyers appear across the recent sample, and no clear pattern of procurement activity under this code emerges.

Geographic activity is scattered across Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California again (Santa Monica), with no concentration in any single state or region. Recent solicitations include Muscogee County Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County BHRS's RFP 2025-007 for peer support for peer workers (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP 455 for a fire department medical director (due October 16, 2025). The code assignment appears to be a data classification error; state and local procurement under this UNSPSC does not reflect meaningful market activity for surgical ear reattachment services.
