UNSPSC 85562229: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left ear, percutaneous endoscopic 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 09PJ4KZ

UNSPSC 85562229 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the posted solicitations under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, medical record summarization for disability determinations, surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding within the state and local procurement system or that this code has become a catch-all placeholder for broadly related health services that fall outside traditional medical procedure taxonomy. No recent solicitation actually procures tissue substitute removal or ear surgery services.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with individual opportunities from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (medical record summary and disability examination coordination, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefit management, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414, originally due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing, RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The issuing bodies are primarily county-level and city-level government health and human services departments rather than standalone medical provider networks, and the work being purchased is administrative, staffing, and care-coordination services rather than clinical procedures.
