This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left middle ear with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85561726 Replacement of left middle ear with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under the nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve middle-ear surgical procedures or implantable tissue substitutes; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits for public employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code designation appears to be a classification mismatch rather than a signal of procurement volume in otologic surgery or implant procurement.

The opportunities that are posted span Arizona, California, Washington State, and Texas issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services, proposals due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs, proposals due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, proposals due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, responses due September 25, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ for temporary health professional staffing, proposals due October 7, 2026), and Collier County, Florida (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, proposals due April 9, 2026). None of these opportunities align with the code's stated clinical procedure. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes or verify the correct UNSPSC classification through the issuing body before pursuing opportunities posted under this designation.
