UNSPSC 85562257: Insertion of single channel cochlear prosthesis into right inner ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of single channel cochlear prosthesis into right inner 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 09HD45Z

UNSPSC 85562257, Insertion of single channel cochlear prosthesis into right inner ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a highly specific surgical implant procedure, but the most-recent opportunities posted under it involve comprehensive healthcare administration and management services — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve cochlear implant insertion or surgical device procurement.

State and local issuing bodies are applying this code to procurements that fall outside its nominal scope. The opportunities span county corrections systems (Muscogee County Prison, Georgia), county benefits administration (Collier County, Florida), county employee health plans (Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health services (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire services (Santa Monica, California). The geographic spread includes Florida, Georgia, and California. With no recent opportunities that actually solicit cochlear prosthesis devices or related surgical services, the code shows little relevant activity for vendors in medical device supply or surgical implant fields. Firms evaluating pursuit under this code should verify that future postings genuinely target cochlear implant procurement rather than administrative or clinical healthcare services.
