This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right tympanic membrane with autologous 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 09U707Z

UNSPSC 85561642, Supplement right tympanic membrane with autologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical-procedure scope and the actual health services and staffing work state and local governments are buying under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code are soliciting independent medical evaluations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out program management, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tympanic membrane repair or autologous tissue procedures. The mix of issuing bodies includes county retirement boards (Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (Long Beach), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), juvenile detention medical services (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional public health networks. The code shows no concentration among repeat buyers across the recent-opportunity set.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services with pre-bid on August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits with proposals due October 7, 2026 and go-live targeted for April 1, 2027; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026 and no guaranteed work volume. The mismatch between the code's clinical description and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in the source jurisdictions' procurement systems or that this Commodity code is being used as a catch-all for diverse health services administration and staffing work rather than for the specific surgical procedure it nominally describes.
