It means that there are alternate parts in thes set.
Scroll down to alternate items and you will see the same number.

I believe this means that this parts has an alternate item. Depending on when
it was packaged, if there was a different model for that given part, it could
come with variant A or B. Has no impact on the build.

On the contrary, this particular number, 99, is used when there have been a (minor)
modification of the set, so there’s an impact on the build.

When the MID is 99 = remodel, all the parts in the Regular section with MID 99
have been replaced in the second version of the set with all the parts in the
Alternate section with MID 99 (thus, you can find the same part in both sections
but with different quantities).

When the MID is not 99 = just a variant, you can get all your parts as the Regular
variant, or all as the Alternate one, or any combination (some of one variant,
some of the other).  It’s how LEGO handles their stocks / introduce new variants:
they don’t care when they are mixed.
