UNSPSC 85562076: Destruction of left external auditory canal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 09543ZZ

UNSPSC 85562076 Destruction of left external auditory canal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a substantial mismatch between its clinical procedure title and the work actually being solicited under it by state and local buyers. Recent opportunities posted against this code do not involve surgical destruction of auditory canal tissue; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public-safety disability determinations, surgical benefit management and Centers of Excellence carve-outs, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code appears to be a data-entry error or miscoding issue rather than an active procurement category. State and local issuing bodies—including Arizona city pension boards, Washington state transportation agencies, Harris County Juvenile Probation, California health systems, Florida county governments, and Long Beach municipal government—are actively buying medical services and health benefits administration, but none of those solicitations are purchasing auditory canal destruction procedures.

Because the code's nominal scope bears no relationship to the actual opportunities posted against it, there are no representative recent solicitations for auditory canal destruction services. The opportunities named in the source—Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing RFSQ (due October 7, 2026)—are misdirected to this code. Buyers pursuing state and local contracts in occupational medicine, disability medical record management, or health benefits administration should not rely on this code for pipeline intelligence; the procurement activity exists but is cataloged under incorrect taxonomy. Clarification with the source procurement systems is warranted before committing business development resources.
