UNSPSC 85561937: Bypass left inner ear to endolymphatic, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left inner ear to endolymphatic, 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 091E0Z0

UNSPSC 85561937 Bypass left inner ear to endolymphatic, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with ear surgery—instead, the code is being applied to diverse healthcare service procurements including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual solicitations suggests either a data-classification error in the state and local systems or a use pattern that has drifted substantially from the code's surgical definition. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county and municipal governments—Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California)—reflecting a broad geographic and functional distribution across counties' health and human services purchasing rather than a concentrated set of repeat buyers.

The recent opportunities are concentrated in Florida and California, with outlier activity in Georgia. Representative solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with annual historical spending around $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members with an anticipated award in June 2026 and October 1, 2026 effective date. None of these solicitations involve surgical procedures or ear-canal interventions; all are administrative and clinical healthcare delivery contracts at the county or municipal level. The code shows no recent activity directly related to its nominal surgical scope, making meaningful pursuit evaluation difficult without clarification of how the code is actually being used by these issuing bodies.
