UNSPSC 85561217: Extraction of left tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of left tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 09D88ZZ

UNSPSC 85561217 Extraction of left tympanic membrane, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code whose title describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no alignment with otologic or ENT surgery. Instead, the solicitations across Arizona, California, and Washington cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical care coordination through centers of excellence — none of which involve tympanic membrane extraction or endoscopic ear procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to be a classification mismatch in the procurement systems posting these opportunities.

Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County), and county benefits programs (Collier County), indicating fragmented, episodic procurement under a code that does not describe the work being solicited. No repeat buyers appear in the recent window, and the geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Without opportunities actually addressing tympanic membrane extraction or endoscopic ear procedures, this code merits skipping for firms focused on otologic services or surgical procedure contracting.
