UNSPSC 85561662: Resection of left tympanic membrane, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left tympanic membrane, 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 09T80ZZ

The UNSPSC code 85561662, Resection of left tympanic membrane, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities recently posted under it. The code represents a specific surgical procedure (otologic surgery involving the tympanic membrane), yet the opportunities tagged to it span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers in behavioral health, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve surgical procedures or tympanic membrane resection. The code shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged to this code or that the opportunities are genuinely unrelated to the commodity scope. State and local procurement under surgical procedure codes typically involves hospital system contracting, surgical center services, or equipment procurement tied to specific surgical specialties. The five opportunities present here are administrative healthcare services, behavioral health support, and emergency medical oversight — work that would fall under different UNSPSC families and commodities. No geographic concentration, issuing-body pattern, or contract award value can be meaningfully characterized from opportunities that fall outside the code's intended scope.
