UNSPSC 85562044: Insertion of hearing device into right inner ear, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of hearing device into right 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 09HD3SZ

UNSPSC 85562044 Insertion of hearing device into right inner ear, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — implantation of a hearing device through percutaneous technique into the right inner ear — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it center on occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and youth detention medical services. None of these solicitations involve hearing device insertion, and the mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual work being procured is substantial. State and local governments do not appear to be sourcing hearing device implantation procedures directly through competitive bid; when medical services are solicited, they address broader clinical administration, staffing, and benefits management rather than discrete surgical procedures.

The few recent opportunities present span multiple issuing bodies and geographies with no meaningful concentration. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested disability medical evaluation services for pension determinations (RFP due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a temporary health professional staffing qualified vendor pool (due October 7, 2026). These opportunities reflect health administration and clinical staffing procurement rather than procurement of hearing devices or hearing device insertion services. The code shows little active relevant opportunity and does not align with current state and local buying patterns.
