UNSPSC 85562057: Excision of right tympanic membrane, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 09B73ZZ

UNSPSC 85562057 Excision of right tympanic membrane, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—a single surgical procedure—does not align with the recent solicitations posted under it. State and local governments are not purchasing tympanic membrane excisions as a line-item procurement. Instead, issuing bodies are posting opportunities for broader healthcare administrative, occupational medical, and benefits management services that have been inadvertently tagged with this code despite their operational scope bearing no relationship to the procedure itself.

The recent opportunities actually being solicited under this code label span independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency/inpatient care coordination for detained youth. Issuing bodies include county commissioners' offices, municipal retirement boards, state transportation departments, health systems, and county probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows active procurement volume across health systems and public safety pension boards but does not reflect genuine market demand for the tympanic membrane excision procedure itself—the tagging appears to be a data quality issue rather than a valid procurement signal.
