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 0NH54SZ

UNSPSC 85683309 Insertion of hearing device into right temporal bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Columbus Consolidated Government), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County, Florida), peer support services for mental health workers (San Mateo County, California), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica Fire Department). None of these solicitations involve surgical implantation of hearing devices or any otologic procedures; the code assignment appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-matching error in the source records rather than a reflection of actual state and local demand for this specific service.

State and local procurement offices do not commonly solicit surgical procedures through standard RFP or IFB processes, and this code's specificity to a single surgical approach suggests it was designed for federal healthcare billing or medical records taxonomy rather than for procurement classification. The mismatch between the code name and the actual scope of opportunities posted under it indicates that this Commodity code is not a meaningful procurement category for state and local business development purposes at this time.
