UNSPSC 85561619 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left tympanic membrane, open approach is a Commodity code whose title does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under it. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the posted opportunities under this code are for independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and specialty emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve tympanic membrane tissue revision or otologic surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or that issuing bodies are using UNSPSC categorization inconsistently for administrative health services and medical procurement that fall outside the code's intended orthopedic or surgical device domain.

Issuing bodies applying this code include municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city workforce agencies (City of Long Beach), and state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations, due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code's application to these health administrative and staffing services rather than surgical procedures warrants review before resource allocation.
