UNSPSC 85562335: Alteration of bilateral external ear with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of bilateral external ear with synthetic substitute, 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 09024JZ

UNSPSC 85562335 Alteration of bilateral external ear with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this designation span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, independent disability medical evaluations, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with ear surgery or synthetic ear implantation. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the underlying procurement system or that this code has been repurposed as a placeholder for broader healthcare service categories within state and local taxonomy. No issuing body has posted an actual solicitation for otologic surgical services or ear reconstruction procedures under this code.

The geographic spread of the six opportunities reflects activity across California, Florida, Texas, Washington, and Arizona, with no single jurisdiction or region showing concentrations specific to the code's nominal scope. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026); and the City of Long Beach issued HR26753 for surgical benefit management (due October 7, 2026). Unless your firm pursues broad healthcare administration or medical staffing work, this code does not reliably signal procurement intent for the surgical procedure it nominally names.
