UNSPSC 85631619: Replacement of left ear skin with autologous 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 autologous 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 0HR3X73

UNSPSC 85631619 Replacement of left ear skin with autologous tissue substitute, full thickness, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing pools (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations directly procure the specific surgical procedure named in the code—replacement of left ear skin with autologous tissue substitute—nor do they address surgical implantation of tissue grafts or reconstructive ear procedures in any context.

The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying under its UNSPSC assignment in the recent record. Healthcare procurement from state and local bodies focuses on administrative services (medical evaluations, PBM, occupational health surveillance), benefit program management, and provider staffing rather than surgical procedures or tissue substitutes themselves. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source opportunities or that this specific procedural code does not reflect current state and local procurement demand. Vendors should treat this code as inactive for business development purposes pending clarification of its actual scope and assignment in the state and local marketplace.
