UNSPSC 85561831: Extirpation of matter from left inner ear, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left inner ear, 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 09CE0ZZ

UNSPSC 85561831, Extirpation of matter from left inner ear, open approach (Commodity), shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code number address independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with otologic surgery or the extirpation of matter from the inner ear. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or that the code is being used as a placeholder in the source data without bearing on actual procurement scope.

Given the absence of opportunities genuinely related to the code's surgical focus, pursuit of this code for inner ear procedure contracting is not warranted based on current state and local market activity.
