UNSPSC 85561847: Excision of left tympanic membrane, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left tympanic membrane, 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 09B80ZZ

UNSPSC 85561847 Excision of left tympanic membrane, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve tympanic membrane procedures or surgical services; instead, they span inmate healthcare contracts, pharmacy benefit management services, virtual primary care platforms, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific otologic surgical procedure—and the healthcare administration, clinical management, and organizational services appearing in state and local RFPs indicates that this code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or does not represent a meaningful procurement category at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Geographic activity spans Florida, Georgia, and California, with no pattern suggesting concentrated procurement under this code. The opportunities posted—Muscogee County Prison's inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services RFP (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's Peer Support for Peer Workers pilot (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's Medical Director RFP (due October 16, 2025)—represent healthcare purchasing across different organizational contexts and service models. No recent opportunities soliciting actual tympanic membrane excision procedures or related surgical services appear in the block. Firms evaluating this code should clarify the underlying commodity or service category with state and local procurement offices before investing in business development activity, as the code classification does not reflect the healthcare services actually being procured.
