UNSPSC 85631690: Destruction of right ear skin, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right ear skin, external 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 0H52XZZ

UNSPSC 85631690 Destruction of right ear skin, external approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments in recent opportunities. The code's nominal scope—a specific otologic surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the six recent state and local solicitations posted under this code between July and September 2026, which instead request independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests a data quality issue in how opportunities are being tagged to this code rather than an active procurement category.

No meaningful procurement activity exists under this code's stated scope. Business development professionals should verify code assignments with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities classified as 85631690, as the current tagging does not produce opportunities aligned with the code's clinical definition.
