UNSPSC 85561955: Alteration of right external ear with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of right external ear with synthetic 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 09000JZ

UNSPSC 85561955 Alteration of right external ear with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 in the source — independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — are all general health care administration, benefit management, or clinical staffing activities with no connection to otologic surgical procedures or external ear reconstruction. The code's clinical specificity (a procedure-level surgical code) does not map to the administrative, occupational health, and workforce sourcing work that state and local bodies are actually buying under this taxonomy entry.

State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for business development purposes at present. The mismatch between the code's narrow procedural scope and the broad, administrative health care work tagged to it suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or dormant demand for specialized otologic surgery contracting through state and local channels. No representative recent opportunities, issuing-body mix, or geographic activity can be credibly drawn from the current source record.
