This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right 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 09C33ZZ

UNSPSC 85562053 Extirpation of matter from right external auditory canal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect the specific otolaryngologic procedure the code describes. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve ear canal procedures. The code appears to have been misapplied to these opportunities during submission or indexing, suggesting either a data-entry error or a jurisdictional tagging inconsistency.

State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county purchasing offices (Collier County, Harris County), and municipal procurement divisions (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity clusters in Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas based on the recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The substantive mismatch between the code's procedural intent and actual recent solicitation scope suggests that this code does not reliably signal buying activity for firms offering otolaryngologic or auditory services at state and local level.
