UNSPSC 85562075: Destruction of right tympanic membrane, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 09573ZZ

UNSPSC 85562075 Destruction of right tympanic membrane, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with a nominal scope that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities available in the source material. The code's literal clinical definition describes a surgical procedure on the ear, yet the most recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve tympanic membrane destruction or otologic procedures. This mismatch suggests either systematic coding misclassification within the state and local procurement systems posting these opportunities or a data artifact that does not reflect actual purchasing activity aligned with the code's scope.

The opportunities themselves span diverse issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), with geographic representation across Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 maximum five-year contract value; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a two-year term and optional five one-year extensions; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026 establishing a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool across multiple ancillary clinical categories. Given the systematic disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity, this code shows no meaningful alignment with current state and local buying patterns in the available source material.
