UNSPSC 85561543: Alteration of left external ear with synthetic substitute, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left external ear with synthetic 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 0901XJZ

UNSPSC 85561543 Alteration of left external ear with synthetic substitute, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 cover independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve ear surgery or otologic procedures. The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure focus and the range of health services administration and staffing work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or that this particular procedure does not drive state and local procurement activity at a measurable scale.

The issuing bodies across the unrelated opportunities span city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile detention systems (Harris County), county benefits administration (Collier County), and public health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). With no opportunities actually soliciting ear surgery services, assessment of pursuit decisions under this code should focus on whether your firm's capability lies in the unrelated categories being bought, or whether this code represents genuinely dormant procurement activity that does not warrant coverage.
