UNSPSC 85561832: Extirpation of matter from right inner ear, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right 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 09CD0ZZ

UNSPSC 85561832 Extirpation of matter from right inner ear, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the recent opportunities posted under it. State and local buyers have tagged solicitations for disability medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical procedure carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody under this code, none of which involve extirpation of ear matter or direct surgical interventions matching the code name. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this particular code has been repurposed within state and local classification systems for broader healthcare administration or medical services procurement.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluation, $750,000 over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations, RFP due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits program for 3,800 covered members, RFP due October 7, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management for 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool, RFP due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, RFI due September 25, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear repeat buyers or sustained procurement pattern under the code itself.
