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 09BD0ZZ

UNSPSC 85561844 Excision of right inner ear, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities block identifies five state and local solicitations spanning inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support for peer workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica Fire Department). None of these opportunities involve excision of inner ear procedures, and the code does not align with the scope of work actually being solicited in the state and local market under this code designation.

The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the recent opportunities suggests either a tagging error by the issuing jurisdictions or a fundamental misalignment between UNSPSC's medical procedure taxonomy and how state and local bodies classify healthcare service contracts. State and local governments are actively procuring comprehensive healthcare services, pharmacy management, virtual care platforms, and behavioral health support through RFPs and competitive processes, but these opportunities are not being tagged to this specific surgical code. Firms evaluating this code should confirm the actual UNSPSC codes used by target customers when procuring healthcare services, as the current code does not reflect genuine procurement demand in the state and local market.
