UNSPSC 85562042: Insertion of single channel cochlear prosthesis into left inner ear, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of single channel cochlear prosthesis into left inner ear, 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 09HE35Z

UNSPSC 85562042 Insertion of single channel cochlear prosthesis into left inner ear, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — implantation of a single-channel cochlear prosthesis via percutaneous approach — but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not involve cochlear implants or auditory prosthetics. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad healthcare service procurement across correctional facilities, county employee benefit administration, virtual primary care delivery, mental health peer support services, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data artifact. State and local procurement activity under this code identifier does not align with the product or service its name describes.

The recent opportunities span issuing bodies including the Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison), Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, San Mateo County Health, and the Santa Monica Fire Department, issued as RFPs with response dates ranging from April 9, 2026 to July 2, 2025. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida (Collier County, Monroe County) and California (San Mateo County), with isolated activity in Georgia and California. Because the solicitations are entirely unrelated to cochlear prosthesis insertion or any implantable device, this code does not signal actionable procurement activity for vendors in the auditory implant, orthopedic implant, or surgical device space.
