UNSPSC 85561145 Removal of synthetic substitute from right ear, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it by state and local agencies in the recent market. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence benefits, specialty medical staffing, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve otologic or ENT procedures. The code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy entry misaligned with state and local procurement activity, which typically focuses on services procurement, benefit administration, and staffing rather than specific surgical procedures performed on individual patients.

The recent opportunities show issuing bodies across multiple governance types: municipal pension boards (City of Phoenix), cities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and county health systems. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because this code shows no market alignment with the recent solicitation records, there are no representative opportunities to reference for this code. Firms considering this UNSPSC category should verify the actual commodity or service classification against their service line and consult with procurement offices directly, as the code's clinical-procedure taxonomy does not correspond to the health services contracting market state and local agencies are currently conducting.
