UNSPSC 85562341: Alteration of right external ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration 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 09004ZZ

UNSPSC 85562341 Alteration of right external ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director contracting. None of these opportunities involve otologic surgery or any procedure on the external ear. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the opportunities posted suggests either systematic miscoding at the issuing bodies or a data-classification error in the source. State and local governments do procure healthcare services—medical direction, inmate healthcare, employee health benefits, mental health support, and virtual care—but those purchases are not being tagged consistently or correctly under this commodity code.

The recent opportunities cluster in Florida (Collier County and Monroe County) and Georgia (Muscogee County), with outliers in California (San Mateo County) and California (Santa Monica Fire Department). The largest recent solicitation is Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services, due April 9, 2026, managing approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million. Because the code's nominal scope bears no connection to the work actually being bought, this category does not warrant pursuit based on recent activity patterns.
