UNSPSC 85561542: Alteration 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 alteration 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 0901XKZ

UNSPSC 85561542 "Alteration of left external ear with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach" is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The six posted opportunities in the recent-opportunities block span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of otologic surgical procedure. State and local procurement offices do not appear to use this code to solicit ear reconstruction or tissue-substitute services; the mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual buying patterns suggests either miscoding in the source data or that this particular procedure sits outside typical state and local contracting activity.

The issuing bodies posting under this code are geographically dispersed — the City of Phoenix (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — but their solicitations address administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and staffing rather than surgical procedures. If your firm pursues contracts involving occupational medicine, benefits management, or medical staffing, those codes (81110000 Computer services or higher-tier healthcare delivery families) may be more productive starting points than this code.
