UNSPSC 85562052: Extirpation of matter from left external auditory canal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left external auditory canal, 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 09C43ZZ

UNSPSC 85562052 Extirpation of matter from left external auditory canal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities attributed to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of foreign matter from the ear canal. The mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification of these health-care administration and staffing solicitations or a disconnect between the code's clinical definition and how procurement offices are categorizing health-system contract opportunities. This code shows no recent state and local activity that directly corresponds to its stated scope.

The issuing bodies posting these health-care opportunities are diverse: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Most recent activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas, with solicitation response dates ranging from September through October 2026. Without a meaningful alignment between the code and the work being bought, this code does not merit pursuit based on present procurement signals.
