UNSPSC 85561851: Excision of left external auditory canal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left 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 09B40ZZ

UNSPSC 85561851 Excision of left external auditory canal, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure code, but the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC tag across state and local jurisdictions—including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services—do not reflect surgical interventions on the external auditory canal. The mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the scope of work actually being solicited indicates that this code is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or sees minimal genuine activity in the state and local space relative to its intended definition.

The five recent opportunities spanning Georgia, Florida, and California from 2026 are concentrated in healthcare administration, benefits management, and emergency medical services direction rather than otologic surgery or surgical procedures. Without evidence of actual solicitations for external auditory canal excision procedures by state or local governments, the code does not present a meaningful procurement avenue for vendors in surgical or surgical-support specialties at this time.
