UNSPSC 85631614: Replacement of left ear skin with nonautologous tissue substitute, full thickness, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left ear skin with nonautologous tissue substitute, full thickness, external 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 0HR3XK3

UNSPSC 85631614 Replacement of left ear skin with nonautologous tissue substitute, full thickness, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's title describes a specific surgical procedure — autologous tissue replacement on the external ear — yet the six most recent state and local opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical care carve-outs through Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve ear reconstruction or tissue grafting. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or a state-local procurement taxonomy mapping that does not align the code's nominal definition to actual buying patterns in these jurisdictions.

Because the tagged opportunities do not reflect the code's stated scope, no meaningful issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or pipeline signal can be drawn. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat the nominal definition as the operative scope and monitor for correctly classified opportunities rather than rely on the six records present, which appear to represent health services procurement across Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police pension boards, disability evaluations), California (Long Beach), Washington State (Department of Transportation ferries), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation), and Florida (Collier County), but do not support ear-reconstruction or tissue-substitute contracting activity.
