UNSPSC 85562739: Excision of right mastoid sinus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 09BB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85562739 Excision of right mastoid sinus, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with its clinical scope. The handful of recent solicitations tagged with this code reflect a misclassification issue: they span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve mastoid surgery or the specific procedural intervention the code nominally describes. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or in error across healthcare services contracts that do not match the code's stated procedure.

The geographic spread of these mislabeled opportunities spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government for Muscogee County Prison), California (San Mateo County), and California again (Santa Monica Fire Department), with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms focused on surgical services or mastoid procedures; business development professionals pursuing healthcare contracts should verify the actual UNSPSC classification before responding to opportunities, as the current tagging under this code does not reliably identify the clinical or procedural scope being procured.
