UNSPSC 85561702: Reposition right auditory ossicle, 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 09S90ZZ

UNSPSC 85561702 Reposition right auditory ossicle, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code nominates a specific surgical procedure—repositioning of the right ear bone via surgical incision—yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code include inmate healthcare management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary care services, peer support programming, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve otologic surgery or auditory ossicle repositioning.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding at the source or that this Commodity code has been assigned to opportunities it does not substantively describe. State and local procurement offices categorizing these healthcare management and professional services contracts under a surgical procedure code is atypical and does not reflect genuine buying activity for surgical services related to ossicle repair. If procurement activity under this code is occurring, the source provides no evidence that it represents a meaningful market segment for vendors pursuing state and local opportunities.
