UNSPSC 85561813: Inspection of left ear, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of left 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 09JJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85561813 Inspection of left ear, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its abstract medical-procedure scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code's nominal title references a specific otologic diagnostic procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management, medical-record summarization for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involves direct inspection of the left ear under an open surgical approach. This taxonomy mismatch suggests the code is either miscoded in active procurement databases or used as a catch-all classification for health services that do not fit more granular categories.

The issuing bodies spanning these opportunities include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach), a state department of transportation (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county government (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applicants across public safety pension boards; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 for a multi-year vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington, Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The code generates low relevance for contractors seeking predictable, single-scope opportunities under a clearly defined procurement category — prospective bidders should verify actual UNSPSC coding with issuing bodies before investing proposal effort.
