UNSPSC 85562308: Extirpation of matter from right external ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right 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 09C04ZZ

UNSPSC 85562308, Extirpation of matter from right external ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The source material shows no solicitations for otologic surgical procedures or endoscopic ear procedures. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefits carve-out programs for municipal employees, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the ear procedure named in the code itself. This mismatch indicates the code shows little relevant recent activity for procurement professionals seeking opportunities in its stated commodity scope.

The issuing bodies across these miscoded opportunities span state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and municipal pension boards, with no pattern of repeat buyers under this code's ostensible medical specialty. Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The recent opportunities are concentrated in municipal and county human resources, occupational health, and detention health contexts rather than surgical procurement. Without opportunities genuinely aligned to otologic surgical procedures, this code does not represent an active pursuit area for state and local medical device or surgical service vendors at this time.
