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 09Q2XZZ

UNSPSC 85561436 Repair bilateral external ear, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes otologic surgical repair services, yet the five most recent opportunities tagged under this code encompass inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve external ear repair or otologic procedures. The issuing bodies span county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, and Monroe County in Florida; and San Mateo County in California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica), with no pattern of repeat buyers or standardized procurement under the code's stated scope.

The geographic distribution of recent activity centers on Florida and California, with a single Georgia posting. Because the recent opportunities are substantively unrelated to otologic repair, this code shows little relevant procurement signal for vendors focused on external ear repair services. State and local buyers do not appear to be sourcing this service category through UNSPSC 85561436 at present, or the tagging reflects a data classification error rather than intentional procurement alignment.
