This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from right tympanic membrane, external approach. 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 09P7X0Z

UNSPSC 85561452 Removal of drainage device from right tympanic membrane, external approach is a Commodity code that sits at the intersection of occupational health compliance and specialized medical evaluation services in state and local procurement. The source material reveals minimal alignment between the code's nominal surgical scope and what state and local governments are actually buying. Recent opportunities under this code tag reflect a broad spectrum of occupational medical surveillance, independent disability benefit evaluations, employee health benefit carve-outs, specialty pharmacy management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tympanic membrane procedures. The code appears to serve as a catch-all or default taxonomy entry for medical services procurement that falls outside traditional occupational health categories. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county juvenile probation agencies, suggesting fragmented demand across administrative, employment, and correctional healthcare contexts.

The geographic spread spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with posting dates concentrated between August and September 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (disability benefit applications, $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services (due October 7, 2026, multiple-award qualified vendor pool). The code shows material recent activity but no clear coherence—procurement professionals should treat this code as a secondary or exploratory tag rather than a primary search criterion for medical device removal or ENT-specific procedures.
