UNSPSC 85561717: Replacement of right auditory ossicle with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right auditory ossicle with nonautologous 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 09R90KZ

UNSPSC 85561717 Replacement of right auditory ossicle with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity with minimal direct relevance to the code's clinical procedural scope. Recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect surgical implant or otologic services; instead, they span occupational and disability medical surveillance, employee health benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the specific audiological surgical intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source material or incidental application of the UNSPSC identifier to broader health services procurement.

The issuing bodies in the recent record include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System), and county government (Collier County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026, and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (historical annual spend approximately $8.7 million, contract term January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028 with two optional one-year renewals). The code shows no substantive recent procurement activity directly aligned with auditory ossicle replacement or otologic surgery.
