UNSPSC 85561245: Drainage of left external auditory canal, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left external auditory canal, 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 09948ZZ

UNSPSC 85561245 Drainage of left external auditory canal, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgery benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve drainage of the external auditory canal or related otologic procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a taxonomic misalignment between the code's clinical definition and the state and local procurement systems applying it.

The issuing bodies represent a diverse mix of state departments, county agencies, and municipal entities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (via Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Without opportunities genuinely soliciting the auditory canal drainage service this code nominally describes, the code does not present a meaningful procurement opportunity for business development evaluation.
