UNSPSC 85561822: Insertion of bone conduction hearing device into left inner ear, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of bone conduction hearing device into left inner 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 09HE04Z

UNSPSC 85561822 Insertion of bone conduction hearing device into left inner ear, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical scope. The five recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction—involve healthcare administration, clinical services delivery, and workforce support, none of which involve surgical implantation of hearing devices or otologic procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source systems or that this highly specialized Commodity code is not being actively solicited by state and local jurisdictions at present.

The issuing bodies in the recent sample span county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida) and municipal and county health departments (San Mateo County Health in California; Santa Monica Fire Department in California), with geographies concentrated in Florida, Georgia, and California. However, because none of these opportunities actually procure bone conduction hearing implants or related surgical services, the code's actual market activity cannot be characterized from this source. State and local procurement under this code, if it occurs, remains invisible in the current dataset. Firms tracking orthotic and prosthetic device supply—or surgical implant services more broadly—should treat this code as inactive unless direct solicitation experience or additional market research reveals otherwise.
