This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left 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 09B44ZZ

UNSPSC 85562311 Excision of left external auditory canal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope. The source contains no state or local procurement opportunities for the specific surgical procedure named in the code. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve excision of external auditory canal procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the source material or that state and local buyers are tagging unrelated health services to this code.

State and local buyers do solicit occupational health services, disability medical evaluations, and surgical benefit administration under codes in this segment. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks comprehensive disability medical record summary preparation and independent medical evaluations for 75 annual public safety pension applications at a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requests occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations for baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations. The City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) seeks surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures. Activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, and Washington, with county-level procurement in Florida and Texas. Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and recent opportunities, this code warrants manual review before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
