This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from right tympanic membrane, 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 09P700Z

UNSPSC 85561767 Removal of drainage device from right tympanic membrane, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The six most-recent solicitations show activity in occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tympanic membrane surgery or related otologic procedures. This mismatch suggests either a data tagging error at the source or a systematic misclassification of health services procurement within the state and local system.

The issuing bodies span a diversity of state and local sectors: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (public pension administration), the City of Long Beach (municipal employee benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (state agency), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (county youth services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (county human resources), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (county healthcare delivery). Geographic coverage includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity spanning late August through October 2026. Because the tagged opportunities do not substantively match the code's nominal medical procedure scope, no representative solicitation directly illustrates the work that UNSPSC 85561767 is intended to capture. Vendors pursuing work under this code should verify the accuracy of code assignment during pre-bid clarification, as the recent posting pattern suggests either systematic miscoding or administrative drift between the taxonomy and actual procurement categorization within these jurisdictions.
