This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right external ear 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 09U007Z

UNSPSC 85561657 Supplement right external ear with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code for a narrowly defined surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not involve otologic surgery or tissue grafting. The handful of posted opportunities show no alignment with the code's nominal scope—instead, the records reflect healthcare services procurement across correctional, municipal, and county settings. Muscogee County Prison (Columbus, Georgia) issued RFP No. 26-0008 in April 2026 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services covering 576 offenders, with responses due May 15, 2026; Collier County (Florida) issued RFP 25-8414 in April 2026 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered dependents; Monroe County (Florida) issued an RFP in March 2026 for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members; San Mateo County (California) issued RFP 2025-007 for peer support services for peer workers; and Santa Monica Fire Department issued an RFP in February 2026 for an Emergency Medical Services Medical Director. This code shows little relevant recent activity—the tagging appears to be a data-entry or classification error rather than a reflection of actual procurement demand under the ear surgery code.

State and local buyers across the healthcare sector are soliciting broadly, but none of the posted opportunities map to otologic reconstruction or autologous tissue procedures. The issuing bodies span county correctional systems, county human resources and health plans, municipal fire departments, and county behavioral health agencies, with geographic activity concentrated in Georgia, Florida, and California. Vendors pursuing state and local work under this code should flag the mismatch with procurement offices and request reclassification; the nominal code scope does not reflect the work being bought.
