UNSPSC 85562353: Extirpation of matter from left eustachian tube, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left eustachian tube, 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 09CG4ZZ

UNSPSC 85562353 Extirpation of matter from left eustachian tube, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification do not involve eustachian tube surgery or related otologic interventions. Instead, jurisdictions are using the code to tag solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and other clinical administrative or support services. The code shows no recent activity that matches its procedural name, suggesting either a taxonomy misclassification in source systems or a divergence between how state and local procurement offices categorize medical services and the clinical-procedure specificity the UNSPSC code nominates.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) on behalf of Washington State Ferries posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a response deadline of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories, due October 7, 2026. The City of Long Beach (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) and Collier County (RFP 25-8414) are similarly tagged under this code but address surgical benefit networks and pharmacy benefit management respectively. Given the code's clinical-procedure definition and the administrative or occupational-health focus of actual recent solicitations, this code does not appear to be a reliable pathway for pursuing state and local medical procurement in its advertised scope.
