This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right 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 09PH4JZ

UNSPSC 85562235 Removal of synthetic substitute from right ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its scope. The UNSPSC taxonomy code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it represent institutional medical services procurement — disability benefit evaluations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit plan administration, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve ear surgery or the procedure named in the code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic classification error or opportunistic retagging by issuing bodies seeking visibility across disparate procurement categories.

The handful of recent solicitations posted under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies spanning municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county juvenile probation, and county commissioners' divisions across Arizona, Washington, Florida, and California. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) solicited independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026) sought emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across multiple specialties. No recent solicitations under this code target ear surgery, implant removal, or endoscopic procedures. Firms should verify code classification during proposal preparation and flag potential mismatches to procurement offices, as pursuing opportunities under a misaligned UNSPSC designation may complicate future opportunity discovery and performance metrics.
