UNSPSC 85562200: Structures of the ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the ear via percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 09.

UNSPSC 85562200 Structures of the ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A is a Class code for which state and local procurement activity shows little relevant recent solicitation alignment. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not center on ear structures or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. Instead, the state and local records reflect a mix of unrelated health services procurements: independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (Phoenix Retirement Office); surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach); occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation); emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County); pharmacy benefit management (Collier County); and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations target ear-structure procedures or endoscopic surgical care.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, municipal HR departments, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, county HR divisions, and county health systems. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the source material or that this code does not reflect active state and local procurement demand for ear-structure endoscopic procedures. Firms evaluating opportunities under this code should verify the coding alignment with issuing bodies before pursuing these opportunities.
