UNSPSC 85561127 Repair right external auditory canal, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgical care networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve otologic repair or endoscopic procedures of the auditory canal. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or that this code is being applied as a catch-all for broader medical service categories rather than the specific procedure its name describes.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county boards of commissioners (Collier County).
