UNSPSC 85561950: Alteration of left external ear with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left external ear 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 09010KZ

UNSPSC 85561950 Alteration of left external ear with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no material alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's name describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the most recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical care network management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve external ear alteration procedures or tissue substitutes.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that this Commodity code does not reflect genuine state and local buying patterns in early October 2026. The opportunities identified — including independent disability medical evaluations for Phoenix pension boards (RFP due October 16, 2026), occupational medical surveillance for Washington State Ferries across 14 ferry terminal locations (RFP due October 9, 2026), and temporary health professional staffing for Santa Clara County Health System across ancillary clinical categories (RFP due October 7, 2026) — represent administrative health services, occupational medicine, and temporary clinical staffing, not surgical procedures. The code does not support a meaningful business development strategy at this time.
