UNSPSC 85562059: Excision of right external auditory canal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 09B33ZZ

The UNSPSC Commodity code 85562059 (Excision of right external auditory canal, percutaneous approach) does not align with state and local procurement activity in the provided recent-opportunities record. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 solicit occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve external auditory canal excision or surgical procedures matching the code's clinical descriptor. State and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities with this code, but the mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the broad administrative and clinical support services actually being solicited suggests either a data classification error or use of the code as a catch-all for medical service categories.

The issuing bodies in the record include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county commissioners (Collier County, Harris County), and county-level corrections and probation departments. Response dates range from September 25, 2026 through April 9, 2026 (Collier County's PBM services solicitation), with most opportunities clustered in early October 2026. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. Given the disconnect between the code's clinical scope and the administrative health-services opportunities recorded, this code shows little actionable recent activity for firms pursuing medical procedure or surgical services contracts with state and local governments.
