UNSPSC 85561906: Drainage of left auditory ossicle with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left auditory ossicle with drainage device, 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 099A00Z

UNSPSC 85561906 Drainage of left auditory ossicle with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a highly specific surgical procedure; however, state and local government procurement activity under this code shows no relevant connection to the code's nominal scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code taxonomy all concern occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve auditory ossicle drainage or related otologic procedures. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or fundamental misalignment between the code assignment and the work actually being procured.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, Long Beach). Representative recent activity includes the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting disability medical evaluation services for pension benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach seeking a surgical carve-out benefit program managing Centers of Excellence networks for approximately 3,800 enrolled city employees and retirees (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Activity concentrates in Washington State, Arizona, California, and Florida. Given the absence of any recent state or local procurement tied to the code's actual scope, this Commodity code shows little practical opportunity for vendors in the auditory surgery or otologic device space.
