UNSPSC 85561606: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right ear, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right 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 09WH0KZ

UNSPSC 85561606 "Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right ear, open approach" is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no direct alignment with tissue revision procedures or otologic surgery. Instead, the solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public-safety disability benefits, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. These opportunities center on medical administration, employee health program management, and occupational health compliance rather than surgical tissue replacement. The issuing bodies are a mix of state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, via the State Ferries division), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). The breadth of medical-service categories under this Commodity code suggests a significant code misalignment in state and local procurement systems.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 locations in Washington with proposals due October 9, 2026 (IFB with cost-based evaluation, 40 percent pricing, 60 percent non-cost factors). The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications with proposals due October 16, 2026 (RFP with a five-year term, $750,000 maximum compensation). The City of Long Beach is requesting surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for its Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan with proposals due October 7, 2026 (RFP targeting Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures). The County of Santa Clara Health System issued a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with responses due October 7, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity for actual surgical tissue revision procedures and should be considered inactive or misapplied in current state and local procurement practice.
