UNSPSC 85561640 Supplement right tympanic membrane with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. The opportunities instead span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-outs for municipal employees, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve tympanic membrane repair or otologic surgery. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all health services classifier by issuing bodies, rather than as a precise procedure-specific category. State and local buyers posting under this code include county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), city retirement and benefits offices (Phoenix, Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). No single issuing body has posted multiple opportunities under the code in the recent window.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, posted September 16, 2026 with proposals due October 16, 2026, budgeted at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system workers across 14 statewide locations, posted August 25, 2026 with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing, posted July 7, 2026 with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows sporadic recent activity with no clear procurement pattern or dominant buying focus aligned to its nominal scope.
