UNSPSC 85561503: Release left external ear, 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 09N1XZZ

UNSPSC 85561503, Release left external ear, external approach (Commodity), does not map to the state and local procurement opportunities in the source. The five recent solicitations — inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison, pharmacy benefit management for Collier County, virtual primary and urgent care for Monroe County, peer support services for San Mateo County behavioral health, and a medical director contract for the Santa Monica Fire Department — are all healthcare administration, clinical operations, and benefits management services. None involve surgical release procedures or otologic intervention. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical approach to the external ear) bears no relationship to what these jurisdictions are actually buying under this tag.

The source provides no recent opportunities that genuinely reflect the UNSPSC code's intended commodity. This mismatch indicates either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems posting these opportunities or that the code sees little relevant activity under its true scope. A business development professional evaluating this code should verify the tag's accuracy before pursuing any of these opportunities and should monitor whether future postings correct the categorization.
