UNSPSC 85561146 Removal of intraluminal device from right ear, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefit management (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System)—involve occupational health screening, employee benefits administration, specialty medical care coordination, and clinical staffing placement. None involve removal of an intraluminal device from the right ear. The code appears to have been applied as a mismatch; the opportunities themselves address medical service administration, employee health benefits, and clinical provider networks rather than otologic surgery or device removal.

State and local buyers across multiple jurisdictions and administrative levels are posting under this code, including county health systems, county human resources and benefits programs, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice departments, and city retirement offices. The geographic spread includes California, Florida, Arizona, Texas, and Washington. No recent opportunities directly related to the nominal scope of the code are evident in the source material.
