This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 09C34ZZ

UNSPSC 85562306 Extirpation of matter from right external auditory canal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involves otologic procedures or endoscopic canal intervention. The code's nominal scope describes a specific clinical procedure, yet the opportunities in the system reflect broad administrative health services, benefit management, and staffing arrangements that fall outside any reasonable interpretation of external auditory canal treatment.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code span state departments, county health systems, county pension boards, and municipalities across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries) posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 for a temporary health professional staffing qualified vendor pool due October 7, 2026. The tagging of these opportunities to a procedure-specific Commodity code appears to reflect a system classification error rather than genuine procurement of otologic services. No relevant recent opportunities for the code's stated scope are present in the source.
