UNSPSC 85562301: Extraction of left tympanic membrane, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of left tympanic membrane, 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 09D84ZZ

UNSPSC 85562301 Extraction of left tympanic membrane, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — extraction of the left tympanum via percutaneous endoscopy — but the five most recently posted opportunities in the source record span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations contemplate the procurement of surgical tympanic membrane extraction as a defined deliverable or service line, nor do they reference this procedure in their scope documents. The mismatch suggests the code may have been applied in error to state and local procurement records that do not actually track surgical procedure procurement at the commodity level.

State and local governments do procure medical services broadly — through county correctional health contracts, municipal fire department medical direction, county employee health plan coverage, and behavioral health support — but UNSPSC 85562301 does not surface as a relevant classification for any of those activities as posted. Buyers and vendors should verify whether this code accurately describes the work they are pursuing; if the intent is to track medical service procurement more generally, a higher-tier Family or Class code may be more descriptive of actual state and local buying patterns in this domain.
