UNSPSC 85562020: Removal of intraluminal device from left ear, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of intraluminal device from left 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 09PJ3DZ

UNSPSC 85562020 Removal of intraluminal device from left ear, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for removing foreign objects or obstructions from the ear canal, but the opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluation services, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which constitute intraluminal ear device removal or ear-specific procedural services. This mismatch suggests either a data classification error or that the code is being used as a placeholder for broader healthcare service procurement when more specific medical taxonomy codes are unavailable in the state and local procurement systems.

State and local bodies posting under this code in recent months include a state department of transportation (Washington State Ferries), county health systems and human resources divisions (Collier County, Santa Clara County), city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal procurement offices (Long Beach), and a county juvenile probation department (Harris County). The geographic spread spans Florida, Arizona, California, and Washington, with the most recent activity concentrated in late August and September 2026. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope bears no meaningful relation to the work actually being solicited, business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities posted under this code.
