UNSPSC 85561710: Replacement of left inner ear with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left inner 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 09RE07Z

UNSPSC 85561710 "Replacement of left inner ear with autologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a highly specific surgical procedure for inner ear replacement using autologous tissue, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with that clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational and disability medical evaluations, employee health benefit program administration, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve inner ear surgery or surgical implant procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that this code does not reflect genuine market demand for the surgical procedure it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span state departments, county health systems, and municipal agencies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the County of Santa Clara Health System, and Collier County. Geographic spread includes Washington, Texas, Arizona, California, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of procurement activity aligned with surgical ear implants or related devices, this code warrants close attention to whether the tagging reflects genuine buying patterns or represents a data quality issue in state and local procurement systems.
