UNSPSC 85562227: Repair left external ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left 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 09Q14ZZ

UNSPSC 85562227 Repair left external ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent solicitations tagged under it reflect diverse healthcare services procurement unrelated to otologic surgery — ranging from inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction. State and local governments do not appear to be procuring external ear repairs or percutaneous endoscopic procedures through competitive solicitation; the code tagging reflects misclassification rather than meaningful buying activity under the code's nominal scope.

The recent opportunities span county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County, Santa Monica Fire Department) and regional health authorities (San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services), with notices posted between February and April 2026 and response dates ranging from May through July 2026. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida and California, with isolated Georgia and California activity, but no pattern of repeat procurement under this code or indication of sustainable demand for ear repair services through state and local channels. Unless issuing bodies begin systematically procuring otologic surgical services, this code presents no actionable procurement signal for business development purposes.
