UNSPSC 85561634: Supplement right auditory ossicle with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right auditory ossicle with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 09U90KZ

UNSPSC 85561634 Supplement right auditory ossicle with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose abstract title does not align with the state and local contract opportunities recently posted under it. The code shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement; the six most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services for pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve auditory ossicle implantation or related surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged to this code or a fundamental divergence between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local buying patterns under it.

Given the absence of opportunities directly aligned with the code's stated scope, pursuit under this code is not currently supported by evidence of active state and local procurement demand for auditory ossicle implant services or related devices and procedures. Vendors in the auditory implant or otologic device space should monitor whether this code receives corrected opportunities in future quarters or confirm the actual UNSPSC classification state and local buyers are using for related surgical supplies and services.
