UNSPSC 85561655: Supplement right external ear with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right external ear 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 09U00KZ

UNSPSC 85561655 Supplement right external ear with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure for ear reconstruction using synthetic or donor tissue. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with this clinical scope; instead, they encompass healthcare administration and clinical service procurement, including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch between the code's nominal description and the solicitations indexed under it suggests either tagging error in the source system or a data classification anomaly. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

State and local procurement activity under this code is distributed across Georgia, Florida, and California jurisdictions, with issuing bodies spanning county corrections departments, county health departments, and municipal fire services. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a fire department medical director (due October 16, 2025). Given the disconnect between code classification and actual procurement content, business development professionals should verify scope alignment with internal procurement systems before investing pursuit resources.
