UNSPSC 85561757: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left ear, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from left ear, 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 09PJ07Z

UNSPSC 85561757 "Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left ear, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with the medical and health-care services state and local governments are actually procuring. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits management through Centers of Excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical care for detained youth—none of which involves the removal of tissue substitutes from the ear. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging misalignment in the source system or that this code receives minimal relevant solicitation activity in state and local markets.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county health system (Santa Clara County), two city government entities (Phoenix and Long Beach), a county health procurement division (Collier County), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), and a county human resources function (Santa Clara County again). Recent opportunities span RFPs and RFQs with response deadlines between September 25 and October 16, 2026, and one RFP with an earlier April 9, 2026 deadline already past. Geographically, activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction appearing more than once except Santa Clara County. The code does not support meaningful geographic concentration or issuing-body pattern analysis; the opportunities themselves bear no relation to ear surgery or autologous tissue work, making it impossible to characterize legitimate demand under this code's nominal scope.
