UNSPSC 85561614: Revision of synthetic substitute in left auditory ossicle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in left auditory ossicle, 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 09WA0JZ

UNSPSC 85561614, Revision of synthetic substitute in left auditory ossicle, open approach, is a Commodity code that nominally covers otologic surgical procedures, but recent state and local opportunities show the code is being applied to a broad range of health services procurement that bears no relationship to the code's surgical scope. The recent solicitations tagged under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transit workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies are state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), indicating the code is used inconsistently across jurisdiction types to describe medical administration and staffing work that does not align with otologic surgery.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year contract covering disability medical record summaries and physician examination coordination for 75 annual public safety pension applications); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management under an employee health plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, covering Centers of Excellence networks for orthopedic, cardiac, and oncology procedures); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with cost accounting for 40 percent of evaluation weight and pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026). The code shows little relevant activity aligned with its nominal otologic scope; procurement under this code appears to reflect broad tagging misalignment rather than actual state and local demand for auditory ossicle revision procedures.
