UNSPSC 85562337: Alteration of left external ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left 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 09014ZZ

UNSPSC 85562337 Alteration of left external ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal clinical-procedure scope — a specific surgical approach to external ear alteration — does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under this taxonomy code. Recent solicitations tagged to 85562337 span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these procurements involve the surgical procedure the code nominally describes; instead, they reflect administrative, preventive, and management-level healthcare services and staffing.

State and local procurement bodies posting under this code include county commissioners' offices (Collier County, Harris County), municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and independent school districts or special-purpose jurisdictions. The geographic spread spans California, Florida, Arizona, Washington, and Texas across the most recent opportunities. Representative current solicitations include the Washington State Ferries RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services (proposals due October 9, 2026, IFB with cost-based scoring), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum), and the City of Long Beach RFP HR26753 for surgical procedure carve-out benefits management under its employee health plan (proposals due October 7, 2026, go-live targeted April 1, 2027). The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure name and the administrative and staffing services actually being bought suggests this code may be misapplied by posting jurisdictions or that state taxonomy alignment differs significantly from the UNSPSC clinical procedure definition.
