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 09T50ZZ

UNSPSC 85561665 Resection of right middle ear, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of state and local government procurement activity in the recent opportunities tagged to it. The five most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary care and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services—none of which involve otologic surgery or middle ear procedures. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in the source data rather than an active procurement category for state and local healthcare contracting.

The issuing bodies in the tagged opportunities represent diverse jurisdictions: county government procurement offices (Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department in Georgia, Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), a county behavioral health agency (San Mateo County Health, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica Fire Department). Geographic activity spans Florida, Georgia, and California. The solicitations themselves—RFPs for correctional health services, PBM administration, virtual care delivery, peer support programs, and medical direction—are legitimate state and local health and human services contracts, but the UNSPSC code assignment does not align with the procurements actually being pursued. No opportunities directly related to otologic surgical services or middle ear resection are present in the recent posting activity.
