UNSPSC 85561810: Release right external auditory canal, open 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 09N30ZZ

UNSPSC 85561810 Release right external auditory canal, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under it. The five recent solicitations on file span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve otologic or surgical procedures on the external auditory canal. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, yet the opportunities reflect broad healthcare administration, managed care, and occupational health support services that fall outside that clinical domain.

State and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent opportunities directly matching the code's stated procedure. The mismatch between the Commodity code designation and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is not actively used for healthcare contracting by the jurisdictions posting these opportunities. Practitioners should verify coding accuracy in state and local RFP systems before pursuing work tagged to this code, as the available opportunities do not represent the surgical services the code nominally describes.
