UNSPSC 85561147, Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right ear via natural or artificial opening, is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve surgical tissue removal or otologic procedures; instead, they reflect public sector demand for occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks for government employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth.

The geographic spread of the mislabeled opportunities spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Issuing bodies include state departments, county health systems and procurement offices, and municipal government benefits programs. No recent opportunities in the source material address the code's nominal scope of otologic surgical procedures or tissue removal. The code appears to see little to no relevant state and local contracting activity; prospective vendors in otologic surgery, ear-related tissue substitutes, or related medical devices should not rely on this taxonomy code to identify procurement opportunities in the state and local space.
