UNSPSC 85561730: Replacement of right middle ear with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right middle ear with synthetic 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 09R50JZ

UNSPSC 85561730 Replacement of right middle ear with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for detained youth — none of which align with middle ear prosthetics or otologic surgery supply. The mismatch suggests the code is applied inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing bodies in their tagging systems, rendering the classification unreliable for business development targeting actual procurement of the specified medical device or procedure.

The most recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas across state agencies, county health systems, county procurement offices, and city retirement boards. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out services due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026. None of these solicitations involve otologic devices or procedures, indicating the code's recent activity does not reflect its stated commodity definition.
