This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right external auditory canal, 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 09N34ZZ

UNSPSC 85562242 Release right external auditory canal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not align with the medical and healthcare services actually being solicited under this taxonomy designation. The opportunities posted against this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison comprehensive medical, pharmacy, and dental care), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support services for mental health workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica). None of these solicitations involve otologic surgery or percutaneous endoscopic procedures on the external auditory canal. The issuing bodies are county governments (Muscogee, Collier, Monroe), a county behavioral health agency (San Mateo), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica), reflecting a mix of county procurement offices, human resources departments, and specialized service divisions.

The geographic spread covers Georgia, Florida (two opportunities), California, and the Los Angeles area, indicating no regional concentration. Recent activity includes Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services, due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP 25-8414 (pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million, due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners RFP (virtual primary and urgent care for 2,300 members, due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County BHRS RFP No. 2025-007 (mental health peer support pilot with $580,000 total funding), and Santa Monica Fire Department RFP 455 (medical director services, due October 16, 2025). The code taxonomy appears to have been applied incorrectly to these healthcare administration and clinical service opportunities; no actual opportunities for otologic surgical procedures or related devices appear in the recent activity.
