UNSPSC 85561759: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right ear, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right 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 09PH0KZ

UNSPSC 85561759 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right ear, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal description does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve surgical removal of tissue substitutes from the ear or any otologic procedure. The mismatch reflects either miscoding at the state or local procurement office level or a data classification error; the code shows minimal genuine alignment with actual health-services procurement in state and local government.

Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and county health systems (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026, up to $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferries employees (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). Because this code does not meaningfully describe the work actually being solicited, pursuit should be guided by the underlying service category (occupational health, disability evaluations, pharmacy benefits, emergency services, or clinical staffing) rather than by the UNSPSC code itself.
