UNSPSC 85561828: Extraction of right auditory ossicle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of 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 09D90ZZ

UNSPSC 85561828 Extraction of 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 to remove the right auditory ossicle (stapes, incus, or malleus) via open surgical technique — a highly specialized otologic intervention. However, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with surgical otology; instead, they span inmate medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. State and local procurement offices do not typically solicit for specific surgical procedures through UNSPSC codes — they contract for institutional healthcare services, medical staffing, and managed care delivery platforms where such procedures may occur as part of a broader clinical scope but are not the primary procurement object.

The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the posted opportunities suggests either a coding error in one or more of the source opportunities or a data quality issue in how the opportunities were tagged. The issuing bodies — Columbus Consolidated Government, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, San Mateo County Health, and Santa Monica Fire Department — are soliciting comprehensive healthcare contracts covering medical intake, chronic disease management, pharmacy administration, virtual care platforms, and peer support services, none of which map to auditory ossicle extraction as a discrete procurement line. Absent a clear body of recent opportunities that actually target auditory surgical services or devices under this code, the code does not present a meaningful pursuit opportunity for state and local healthcare contractors at this time.
