UNSPSC 85561024 Revision of hearing device in right inner ear, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities show no purchasing activity related to hearing device revision or otological medical device services. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefits carve-out programs, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve hearing device revision or repair.

The lack of relevant recent opportunities indicates that this code is either misapplied to the posted solicitations or sees minimal state and local procurement activity in its intended scope. Firms pursuing contracts in audiology, occupational health examinations, or other medical services reflected in the posted opportunities should verify the correct UNSPSC codes with issuing bodies, as the current code classification does not reflect the work being solicited.
