UNSPSC 85561635: Supplement right auditory ossicle with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right auditory ossicle with synthetic 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 09U90JZ

UNSPSC 85561635 Supplement right auditory ossicle with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a surgical procedure to implant a synthetic replacement for an auditory bone in the middle ear — a specialized otologic intervention performed in operating rooms under controlled clinical conditions. The recent opportunities tagged under this code, however, focus on inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical implantation of auditory devices or ossicular prosthetics.

The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or opportunistic tagging by vendors seeking visibility across broader healthcare categories. No recent solicitations actually solicit supplies, equipment, or services aligned with the code's stated surgical scope. Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) have posted healthcare-related RFPs in the recent window, but none involve auditory ossicle supplementation. The code does not currently represent a meaningful market signal for firms pursuing state and local procurement in surgical supplies, medical devices, or related services.
