UNSPSC 85562077: Destruction of right external auditory canal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 09533ZZ

UNSPSC 85562077 Destruction of right external auditory canal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the medical and health services opportunities recently posted by state and local bodies. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code in the source material solicit independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. None of these services involve destruction of the external auditory canal; the mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification in the state and local procurement systems or that the code has been applied to health services procurement more broadly without fidelity to its specific procedural definition.

Activity spans multiple issuing bodies—county human resources departments (Collier County, Santa Clara County), city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile detention (Harris County), and large municipal health systems—across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The absence of solicitations for the specific surgical procedure named in the code indicates that pursue decisions should be based on actual buying activity in related health services rather than the code's technical label. Firms monitoring state and local health procurement should flag this code as misapplied and track opportunities within the broader health services segments instead.
