UNSPSC 85562102: Alteration of bilateral external ear with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of bilateral external ear with synthetic substitute, 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 09023JZ

UNSPSC 85562102 Alteration of bilateral external ear with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's highly specific clinical procedure scope—surgical reconstruction of the external ear using synthetic implants via percutaneous technique—does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code instead span independent medical evaluations for pension-board disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for city employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing across ancillary health professions. None of these solicitations involve otologic surgical procedures or synthetic ear implants. The mismatch suggests either misclassification at posting or that state and local procurement offices are not currently buying the specific service this code nominates.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span multiple jurisdiction types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because the opportunities are substantively disconnected from the code's defined scope, no representative recent procurements under the code's actual nominal service—ear surgery with synthetic implants—can be identified from the source material.
