UNSPSC 85562017: Repair right external ear, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right external ear, percutaneous 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 09Q03ZZ

UNSPSC 85562017 Repair right external ear, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities tagged to this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management services for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care for county employees, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services—represent healthcare administration, employee health benefits management, behavioral health support, and emergency services medical oversight rather than the otologic surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure scope and the opportunities posted against it suggests either a classification error in the source data or a state and local procurement system convention that does not reflect the narrow, specialty-surgical nature of the UNSPSC taxonomy at this tier. State and local agencies do solicit healthcare services, benefits administration, and clinical staffing across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies (county corrections departments, county human resources divisions, county boards of commissioners, county behavioral health agencies, and municipal fire departments are all represented in the recent record), but none of those activities align with otologic repair. If your firm pursues state and local healthcare and benefits contracts, monitor broader family and class codes covering medical services procurement; this Commodity code appears inactive or miscoded in the state and local market.
