UNSPSC 85562738: Excision of left mastoid sinus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left 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 09BC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85562738 Excision of left mastoid sinus, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little relevance to surgical mastoid excision. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad healthcare service procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which align with the specific surgical intervention the code purports to describe. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or a data quality issue in how opportunities are being tagged to this Commodity code, making it unreliable for business development targeting around surgical services procurement.

The geographic spread of opportunities is broad, spanning Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California municipalities (Santa Monica), with issuing bodies including county boards of commissioners, county health departments, consolidated municipal governments, fire departments, and county behavioral health services. The most recent opportunities include Muscogee County's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP for peer support services for peer workers (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director (due October 16, 2025). Because the code itself does not reflect the actual work being solicited, and no opportunities document surgical services or procedures aligned with mastoid excision, this code presents minimal decision-relevant activity for firms pursuing healthcare service contracts in state and local markets.
