UNSPSC 85562231: Removal of intraluminal device from left ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of intraluminal device from left 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 09PJ4DZ

UNSPSC 85562231, Removal of intraluminal device from left ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local contract activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the most recent opportunities posted under this code solicited independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve intraluminal device removal or ear-specific procedures. This classification mismatch suggests the code is either misconfigured in the source jurisdictions' procurement systems or is being applied as a catchall for health services contracting without regard to procedural specificity.

The few opportunities posted do span multiple issuing bodies and states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office in Arizona (independent medical evaluation), the City of Long Beach in California (surgical benefit management), the Washington State Department of Transportation's ferries division (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas (emergency and specialty medical services), Collier County in Florida (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System in California (temporary health professional staffing). The geographic spread covers the West, Southwest, and South, but the activities have little connection to the code's nominal scope. Given this fundamental mismatch between the code name and actual recent procurements, this code does not represent a viable pursuit track for firms offering ear, nose, and throat surgical services or intraluminal device expertise.
