UNSPSC 85562028: Release left tympanic membrane, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left tympanic membrane, percutaneous 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 09N83ZZ

UNSPSC 85562028 Release left tympanic membrane, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code—a county jail inmate medical and pharmacy services contract, a county pharmacy benefit management procurement, a virtual primary and urgent care services RFP, a mental health peer support pilot project, and a fire department medical director engagement—bear no connection to the specific surgical procedure named in the code. State and local governments do not appear to be procuring tympanic membrane release procedures as standalone line items or services under this classification. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or an artifact of how the issuing bodies applied UNSPSC codes to their solicitations.

The recent opportunities themselves span diverse health and behavioral health service categories—correctional medical administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care delivery, peer mental health support, and fire department EMS medical direction—none of which map to a specific otologic surgical procedure. This code shows no relevant recent activity for business development purposes. State and local procurement professionals evaluating opportunities in this code should verify the UNSPSC classification directly with issuing bodies before pursuing these opportunities, as the code assignment does not reflect the work being solicited.
