UNSPSC 85561728: Replacement of left middle ear with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left middle ear 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 09R607Z

UNSPSC 85561728 Replacement of left middle ear with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for middle ear repair using autologous tissue; however, the six recent opportunities posted to state and local procurement systems under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve middle ear surgery or the specific procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the point of posting or a data integrity issue within the state and local procurement ecosystem.

The recent opportunities reveal activity among diverse issuing bodies—municipal pension boards, county human resources and probation departments, regional health systems, and transit authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington—but these opportunities are unrelated to otologic or reconstructive surgical procedures. No solicitation in the block involves the code's stated scope. Absent alignment between the code definition and actual procurement activity, this code shows little relevant recent opportunity for vendors in the middle ear reconstruction or otologic surgical services space.
