UNSPSC 85561152 Removal of hearing device from right inner ear, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source contains six recent opportunities—from Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—none of which involve hearing device removal or otologic surgery. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The code appears to be either mistagged at the source level or represents a narrow procedural classification that state and local buyers do not currently solicit as a standalone commodity or service contract.

No state and local opportunities in the source support pursuit under this code's stated scope. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the recent procurement activity indicates that hearing device removal services are not being procured as a distinct line item or contract class by state and local government entities at present.
