UNSPSC 85562219: Reposition bilateral external ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition bilateral external ear, percutaneous endoscopic 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 09S24ZZ

UNSPSC 85562219 Reposition bilateral external ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity — the code nominally describes a surgical procedure code that does not align with the state and local government procurement opportunities tagged under it. The recent solicitations posted under this code actually reflect healthcare service contracting: inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and emergency medical services medical direction. None of these opportunities involve ear surgery or surgical procedures of any kind, suggesting a classification mismatch rather than active procurement in the code's stated scope.

The issuing bodies span county health systems and local government purchasing offices across Georgia and Florida (Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia; Collier County and Monroe County in Florida), plus a California county behavioral health authority and a California city fire department. The geographic distribution is scattered across the Southeast and West Coast with no concentration. Given the disconnect between the code's surgical descriptor and the actual healthcare administration and service delivery work being solicited, the code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for vendors in state and local markets. Firms evaluating opportunities should verify code alignment during sourcing rather than rely on this classification.
