UNSPSC 85562339, Alteration of left external ear with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on the external ear—does not align with the actual work posted under this code in recent state and local solicitations. Recent opportunities tagged with this code instead involve medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which concern alteration of the external ear. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging of opportunities or a fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical nomenclature and its actual use in state and local procurement systems.

No state and local government procurement activity directly matching the surgical procedure named in this code appears in the recent opportunities block. Practitioners evaluating this code should verify the intended UNSPSC classification and consider whether the actual work being bought falls under a different code within the healthcare services or medical procedures taxonomy.
