UNSPSC 85561725: Replacement of right tympanic membrane with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right tympanic membrane 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 09R707Z

UNSPSC 85561725 Replacement of right tympanic membrane with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—tympanoplasty using autologous tissue—yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, and hospital-based acute care delivery. None of these services involve tympanic membrane replacement or autologous tissue grafting. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source database or vendors and issuing bodies applying this code to general medical services contracting rather than to the specific procedure it describes.

The recent opportunities reveal issuing bodies from multiple sectors—state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach)—pursuing healthcare administration, facility-based medical provision, and staffing services across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. No pattern of repeat demand for tympanoplasty services or autologous tissue procedures appears in the recent-opportunities record. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity, this code presents minimal relevance for vendors focused on surgical procedure supply or tissue graft services; the code's recent activity reflects broader healthcare contracting that is not specialty-procedure-specific.
