This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of drainage device in left ear, via natural or artificial opening.

UNSPSC 85561010 Revision of drainage device in left ear via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that describes a narrowly defined otologic surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the nominal clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect medical administrative and staffing services: independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out networks, specialty medical services in a youth detention setting, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the revision of drainage devices or otologic surgery. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting the diversity typical of municipal and regional health administration and benefits procurement.

Geographic activity centers on Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County in Florida represents the only non-western state in the set), and Washington State (WSDOT/Washington State Ferries). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code shows no recent state and local procurement activity that matches the stated clinical definition, suggesting either miscoding in source records or minimal market activity for otologic drainage device revision under this taxonomy.
