This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right inner ear to endolymphatic with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 091D0K0

UNSPSC 85561942 Bypass right inner ear to endolymphatic with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not correspond to the work actually being solicited in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the posted opportunities reflect instead a mix of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, surgical benefit carve-out management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve inner ear bypass procedures or the surgical implant domain the code implies.

The source contains six recent state and local solicitations across three states (Arizona, California, and Washington) issued between July and September 2026 with response dates between September 25 and October 20, 2026. These include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure centers of excellence carve-out benefits (response due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (response due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (response due September 25, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (response due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for a qualified vendor pool of temporary ancillary clinical staffing (response due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the activity posted suggests either tagging error by the issuing bodies or that the code has fallen into disuse for state and local procurement purposes; pursue with caution pending verification of the correct code classification.
