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 09S80ZZ

UNSPSC 85561703 Reposition left tympanic membrane, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific otologic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with that clinical scope. The five most recent opportunities in the block — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a Georgia county jail, pharmacy benefit management for a Florida county, virtual primary and urgent care for a Florida county, peer support services for behavioral health workers in California, and fire department medical direction in California — span correctional healthcare administration, pharmacy benefits, virtual care platforms, mental health peer support, and emergency medical services oversight. None involve tympanic membrane repositioning or otologic surgery. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities with this code in error, or the code has been repurposed in ways that do not reflect its nominal definition.

The geographic spread of the opportunities spans Florida (two opportunities), California (two opportunities), and Georgia (one opportunity), with no pattern suggesting concentrated activity under this code for any actual medical device, pharmaceutical, or surgical service line. The issuing bodies include county health departments, county commissions, county behavioral health agencies, and municipal fire departments — typical state and local health and human services buyers. However, because none of the opportunities relate to the code's stated scope, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors in otologic equipment, surgical supplies, or procedure-related services. Pursue this code only after verifying that actual procurement need aligns with tympanic membrane repositioning or related otologic products and services, rather than the healthcare administration and services categories currently tagged under it.
