This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 09B04ZZ

UNSPSC 85562314 Excision of right external ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical or procedural work. Instead, the recent solicitations under this code span healthcare service contracting — comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary care and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. These opportunities represent administrative healthcare management, care delivery coordination, and medical oversight rather than surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County Prison through Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia, Collier County and Monroe County in Florida) and municipal/county health agencies (San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services and Santa Monica Fire Department in California). The mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding at the issuing-body level or a data-classification artifact, and prospective vendors should verify code assignment directly with each jurisdictional procurement office before responding.

Recent opportunities posted under this code span Georgia, Florida, and California. The most active current solicitations are the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (proposals due May 15, 2026, budgeted at approximately $95,537.71 monthly), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical pharmacy spending around $8.7 million annually (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). A San Mateo County Behavioral Health RFP for peer support services has a July 2, 2025 proposal deadline and $580,000 total funding, and the Santa Monica Fire Department issued an RFP for a medical director with an October 16, 2025 due date. Vendors considering response should confirm that the code assignment aligns with their service scope and contact issuing procurement offices if the surgical-procedure terminology appears inconsistent with the actual work being solicited.
