This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 09B70ZZ

UNSPSC 85561848 Excision of right tympanic membrane, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not involve surgical services or tympanic membrane procedures. Instead, the opportunities reflect a mismatch between the code assignment and the actual work being solicited — they span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction, none of which align with the code's surgical scope.

The five most recent tagged opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states and regions: Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), San Mateo County Health (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California). The geographic spread spans Georgia, Florida, and California, with no discernible concentration in any single state. The mismatch between code and solicitation content suggests that either the code was applied in error by the issuing bodies or the taxonomy does not accurately reflect how state and local procurement offices classify healthcare and medical services procurement. Business development professionals pursuing state and local healthcare contracts should rely on the actual scope of work in recent opportunities rather than the code assignment alone, as this code does not provide a reliable filtering mechanism for relevant solicitations.
