This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 09980ZZ

UNSPSC 85561909 Drainage of left tympanic membrane, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these services involve surgical drainage of a tympanic membrane. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the procedure its title describes.

State and local issuers across multiple jurisdictions—including Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—are actively soliciting general health benefits administration, occupational health services, and clinical staffing under this code designation, but these solicitations are either misclassified or reflect a data-capture error rather than genuine procurement interest in tympanic drainage procedures. The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, but the scope mismatch across all recent opportunities indicates the code is not functioning as a reliable procurement signal for the service its commodity name specifies.
