UNSPSC 85562107: Alteration of left external ear with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left external ear with autologous tissue substitute, 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 090137Z

UNSPSC 85562107 Alteration of left external ear with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on the external ear—and the state and local procurement activity actually being tagged under it. The recent opportunities solicited under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve otologic or reconstructive surgery; the code appears to be a mislabeling or data-classification error within the source procurement system.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and city retirement offices (City of Phoenix). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington State ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026 (with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based vehicle RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity; recommend skipping unless the issuing body's procurement database corrects the classification.
