UNSPSC 85561142 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right ear, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the most recent opportunities tagged under it solicit administrative and occupational medical services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and independent medical evaluations for disability determinations—none of which involve tissue removal or otologic procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification issue or minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually procuring under this designation.

The recent opportunities originating under this code span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas and include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical roles (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The issuing bodies are state departments, county governments, and municipalities; no pattern of repeat buyers emerges from the sample. Given the disconnect between the code's procedural description and the administrative, staffing, and benefit-management work actually being solicited, practitioners should verify UNSPSC coding accuracy before committing resources to opportunities under this code.
