UNSPSC 85561800: Structures of the ear, open approach-part C

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the ear via open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 09.

UNSPSC 85561800 Structures of the ear, open approach-part C is a Class code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve ear structures or otologic surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the sourcing system or that this code is not actively used by state and local buyers for relevant commodity or service lines.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this tag include county corrections departments (Muscogee County, Georgia), county health plan administrators (Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health services (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). Recent activity includes RFP No. 26-0008 from Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department for inmate medical and pharmacy services with a proposal due date of May 15, 2026; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with a due date of April 9, 2026; and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services due April 16, 2026. Geographic representation spans Georgia, Florida, and California, with no discernible concentration. Because the code's nominal scope — otologic surgical structures — bears no meaningful relationship to the actual work being solicited, this code shows little relevant procurement activity and should not be pursued based on current market signals.
