UNSPSC 85562000: Structures of the ear, percutaneous approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the ear via percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 09.

UNSPSC 85562000 Structures of the ear, percutaneous approach-part A is a Class code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical device scope. The five most recent opportunities tagged under this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, county pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and a fire department medical director contract — are administrative healthcare services, managed care platforms, and personnel contracts unrelated to otologic percutaneous procedures or ear-structure devices. The code appears to be a miscategorization artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than an active procurement category.

The source records no relevant solicitations under this code that would signal genuine market demand for the products or services the code nominally describes. Pursuing opportunities in this code would require either clarifying with issuing bodies whether their healthcare-services tagging reflects intentional commodity classification or identifying a separate procurement opportunity stream not represented in the recent sample. The mismatch between code definition and actual buying activity indicates minimal value in monitoring this code for business development purposes at this time.
