This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left eustachian tube, 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 09CG3ZZ

UNSPSC 85562116 Extirpation of matter from left eustachian tube, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that state and local governments are not actively buying under its stated clinical procedure specification. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve eustachian tube procedures or the otologic interventions the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems, indicating broad jurisdictional use of the code taxonomy. However, the code assignment appears to reflect administrative or miscategorization rather than substantive procurement activity aligned with the code's medical procedure definition.

The geographic distribution spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with the most recent activity concentrated in late August and September 2026. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026) covering ferry system workers across 14 Washington State locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually). The code shows no meaningful alignment with its stated eustachian tube procedure scope; procurement professionals should verify whether the code assignment reflects a data error or whether the issuing bodies intend coverage of broader health administration and clinical support services under this medical procedure taxonomy.
