UNSPSC 85562620: Resection of right mastoid sinus, open 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 09TB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85562620 Resection of right mastoid sinus, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a surgical procedure for mastoid bone disease; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code bear no substantive relationship to the code's nominal scope. The five most recent opportunities tagged to this code solicit inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and medical director services for a fire department—none of which involve mastoid surgery or otologic procedures. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical definition.

This mismatch signals either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or a systematic misapplication of the UNSPSC taxonomy to health services contracting. Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the actual scope of work against the specific RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notice before investing proposal effort, as the posted opportunities do not correspond to surgical services or otologic specialization. Procurement professionals evaluating this code for market analysis should flag it as inactive for its intended commodity and route inquiries to the appropriate family-level health services codes if pursuing state and local health care contracting.
