UNSPSC 85562243: Release left external ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 09N14ZZ

UNSPSC 85562243 Release left external ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it span healthcare administration, benefits management, and peer support services — none of which involve otologic surgery. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data integration error. No state and local solicitations for the procedure itself appear in recent activity.

The opportunities incorrectly tagged with this code include inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison (Columbus Consolidated Government, RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), pharmacy benefit management services for Collier County employees and family members (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), virtual primary and urgent care services for Monroe County (Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, RFP, due April 16, 2026), peer support services for behavioral health peer workers in San Mateo County (San Mateo County Health BHRS, RFP 2025-007, due July 2, 2025), and fire department medical direction in Santa Monica (Santa Monica Fire Department, RFP, due October 16, 2025). These reflect healthcare purchasing across counties and municipal fire departments in Georgia, Florida, California, and elsewhere, but none represent the orthopedic or otologic surgical services the commodity code describes. Bidders pursuing work under this code should verify coding accuracy with issuing procurement offices before responding, as the code does not currently reflect genuine market demand for the procedure it names.
