UNSPSC 85561601: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left ear, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left ear, open 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 09WJ0KZ

UNSPSC 85561601 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left ear, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted against it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving tissue substitute revision, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tissue substitutes or ear surgery. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or a metadata error in the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment for these opportunities.

The geographic and issuing-body spread across the misaligned opportunities spans multiple states and jurisdiction types: Phoenix (Arizona), Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and Santa Clara County (California). Without opportunities genuinely related to the code's nominal scope, no representative recent procurement activity or meaningful market signal can be drawn from this code as currently tagged in state and local systems.
