UNSPSC 85562363: Destruction of left eustachian tube, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 095G4ZZ

UNSPSC 85562363 Destruction of left eustachian tube, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical-procedure scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve eustachian tube destruction or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests this code is misapplied to health services contracting broadly rather than to the specific otologic procedure its name describes.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county commissioners (Collier County, Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), city pension boards (Phoenix), and municipal employers (Long Beach). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no pattern concentration. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability record review and physician examinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026) serving ferry system employees across 14 locations statewide. The code's assignment to these diverse health services contracts appears administrative rather than clinical-specialty-driven, and pursuit under the code's stated definition would require clarification of whether the buyer actually intends to source eustachian tube procedures or whether the tagging reflects a cataloging error.
