UNSPSC 85561804: Release right auditory ossicle, 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 09N90ZZ

UNSPSC 85561804 Release right auditory ossicle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for the release of a right auditory ossicle using an open surgical approach — a highly specific otologic intervention — yet the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these opportunities involve auditory ossicle release or any otologic surgical procedure.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual solicitation activity suggests either a classification error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities, or that the code is not actively used to procure services aligned with its definition. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for practical state and local contract pursuit and verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any target opportunity in healthcare administration, behavioral health services, or emergency medical services before committing pursuit resources.
