This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right ear skin with synthetic substitute, 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 0HR2XJZ

UNSPSC 85631622 Replacement of right ear skin with synthetic substitute, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure for ear reconstruction—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. State and local buyers tagging solicitations with this code are instead procuring occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee benefits, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve procurement of ear skin replacement products or services as the code name denotes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for health-related services outside its nominal scope.

The recent opportunities span a diverse issuer base—city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation and human resources departments (Harris County, Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). Geographic activity clusters in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with solicitations issued through August and September 2026 and response dates clustered in October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026; $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026; two-year base with five optional one-year extensions), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026; estimated $8.7 million annually in historical spending, three-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals). The code does not reflect organized procurement demand for the product or service its name describes.
