This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic 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 09WH0JZ

UNSPSC 85561607 Revision of synthetic substitute in right ear, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, emergency youth detention medical services, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which address orthopedic prosthetic ear procedures or surgical revision services as the code name suggests. The mismatch indicates this code may be incorrectly applied to general healthcare procurement or that the underlying records conflate unrelated medical service categories.

The issuing bodies in the recent activity span county health systems (Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of state ferries), county retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal governments (City of Long Beach), county commissioners (Collier County, Harris County), and independent state agencies. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services and disability medical record summaries for approximately 75 annual public safety pension disability applications (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach requesting surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for a Centers of Excellence network (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across multiple specialties (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in California, Arizona, and Washington, with scattered county-level procurement in Florida and Texas. No opportunities posted under this code align with ear prosthetic surgery or revision — the code application appears to reflect administrative tagging misalignment rather than genuine procurement demand for the specified procedure.
