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

UNSPSC 85561727 Replacement of left middle ear with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure involving synthetic middle-ear implantation — does not align with the opportunities currently tagged under it in state and local databases.

The six most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for state ferry system workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County, Florida), and temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve orthopedic prosthetics, middle-ear implants, or the surgical procedures this commodity code describes. The code appears to have been misapplied across these diverse health-plan administration, occupational health, and clinical staffing procurements. Vendors pursuing state and local work in prosthetics, ENT implants, or related surgical supplies should verify the correct UNSPSC classification through direct inquiry with individual issuing bodies, as the current taxonomy assignment does not reflect actual buying patterns in this commodity.
