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 09560ZZ

UNSPSC 85561931 Destruction of left middle ear, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which directly involve middle ear surgery or otologic procedures. The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California), but the mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being procured indicates either a data-entry error in the tagging or a fundamental misalignment between the taxonomy and the contract descriptions.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida and California, with isolated Georgia and California activity. The most recent solicitations — including Muscogee County's comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services RFP (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services RFP (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's peer support pilot for behavioral health workers RFP (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica's fire department medical director RFP (due October 16, 2025) — share no common procurement theme that maps to middle ear surgery. The code does not appear to be actively used for its nominal clinical purpose in state and local procurement, and business development professionals should treat it as dormant pending clarification of the tagging methodology.
