UNSPSC 85561719: Replacement of right auditory ossicle with autologous 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 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 09R907Z

UNSPSC 85561719 Replacement of right auditory ossicle with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect orthopedic or surgical services. Instead, the tagged opportunities cover occupational health medical surveillance, disability retirement medical evaluations, surgical benefit plan administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which align with auditory ossicle replacement. The code shows a clear mismatch between its taxonomy title and what state and local governments are actually buying under it.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span diverse public sector categories: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (on behalf of two pension boards), the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. No single issuer appears more than once. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance procurement (RFP due October 9, 2026, with cost-based scoring favoring 40 percent pricing and 60 percent non-cost capability factors), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). Given the substantial mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited, this code warrants review for potential taxonomy or tagging error before pursuit strategy is developed.
