UNSPSC 85561236: Excision of right external auditory canal, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right external auditory canal, via natural or artificial opening. 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 09B37ZZ

UNSPSC 85561236 Excision of right external auditory canal, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code — including independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — are administrative healthcare services, benefits contracting, and staffing procurement, not surgical procedures or facility-based medical interventions. The code's nominal scope (a specific otologic surgical procedure) does not align with what state and local government is actually buying under this taxonomy tag.

State and local procurement offices appear to be applying this code as a catch-all category for health-related services rather than as a surgical procedure code. No opportunities in the block solicit surgical implants, instrumentation, facility-based procedure scheduling, or clinical equipment associated with otologic surgery. Until the code shows genuine alignment between its title and active state and local solicitation, it represents a poor targeting signal for firms pursuing medical device, surgical services, or hospital supply contracts in the public sector.
