UNSPSC 85562055: Extirpation of matter from right external ear, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 09C03ZZ

UNSPSC 85562055 Extirpation of matter from right external ear, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code describe occupational and disability medical services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits, and youth detention healthcare — none of which relate to otologic or ear procedures. The mismatch indicates that this code receives little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement, or that the tagging reflects a data classification error rather than actual procurement intent.

The opportunities on record span several states and issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefits, the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, the City of Long Beach (California) procuring a surgical carve-out benefit program, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, Collier County (Florida) requesting pharmacy benefit management services, and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) establishing a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool. The breadth and diversity of these solicitations, combined with their fundamental mismatch to the code's nominal scope, signal that UNSPSC 85562055 should be treated with caution — the code does not currently surface opportunities for ear-procedure providers pursuing state and local contracts.
