UNSPSC 85561807: Release left middle ear, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left middle 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 09N60ZZ

UNSPSC 85561807 Release left middle ear, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the provided opportunities. The code nominally describes a surgical otologic procedure, yet the most-recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code reflect procurement of comprehensive healthcare services — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve surgical intervention or otologic procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure description and the health services and program administration being solicited indicates that this code either captures healthcare operations and management services broader than its name suggests, or that the opportunities have been misclassified by issuing bodies.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions. The Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division (Georgia) posted RFP No. 26-0008 on April 15, 2026, for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, with proposals due May 15, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services, posted April 9, 2026, also due April 9, 2026; Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an RFP on March 14, 2026, for virtual primary and urgent care services, due April 16, 2026; San Mateo County Health's Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (California) issued RFP No. 2025-007 for peer support services, posted February 25, 2026, with a July 2, 2025 due date; and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California) sought a medical director, posted February 25, 2026, due October 16, 2025. Issuing bodies include county health and human services departments, county purchasing offices, and municipal fire departments. Solicitation notices span Georgia, Florida, and California, with opportunities structured as RFPs requiring cost, qualifications, and service-plan evaluation. Without visible pattern alignment to the code's stated scope, pursuit decisions should account for the classification anomaly and confirm issuing-body intent before resource commitment.
