This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 09504ZZ

UNSPSC 85562332 Destruction of right external ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent solicitations. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the medical and health services actually being solicited by state and local issuing bodies under this designation.

Recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve otologic surgery or any ear-destruction procedure. The code shows no relevant recent activity and appears to reflect a classification error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities.
