This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 095B0ZZ

UNSPSC 85562779 Destruction of right mastoid sinus, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with that clinical scope. Instead, the solicitations categorized under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than a predictable procurement category — the opportunities reflect broader healthcare services administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing rather than a discrete mastoid surgery line item.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic spread includes Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. Given the code's nominal scope versus actual posting patterns, this category does not represent a coherent procurement opportunity for medical device, pharmaceutical, or surgical service vendors — the code assignment appears erroneous.
