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 09500ZZ

UNSPSC 85561936 Destruction of right external ear, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most-recent opportunities tagged with this code in the source record are inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for a county health consortium, virtual primary and urgent care services for a county employee health plan, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve ear surgery, otologic procedures, or destruction of external ear tissue. The code's clinical specificity does not align with the procurement notices actually being issued by state and local governments in the dataset, suggesting either mistagging at the point of opportunity posting or exceptionally rare surgical-services procurement under this particular UNSPSC classification.

State and local buyers do solicit medical and healthcare services through RFPs and RFQs, as evidenced by the Muscogee County Prison inmate medical services RFP (due May 15, 2026), the Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026), and the Monroe County virtual care RFP (due April 16, 2026). However, these solicitations target administrative healthcare networks, population-level care coordination, and occupational health support rather than acute surgical procedures. If your firm pursues otologic or ENT surgical services to state and local buyers, monitor this code's activity more closely in coming quarters; currently it presents no actionable opportunities.
