UNSPSC 85561225, Extirpation of matter from left external auditory canal via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code. Recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with its nominal scope; instead, the opportunities reflect procurement of occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The issuing bodies span county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). None of these solicitations address otolaryngological or endoscopic procedures; the code's presence appears to reflect miscategorization or administrative tagging error rather than genuine commodity alignment.

Geographic activity covers Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State (Department of Transportation), with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum five-year contract and October 16, 2026 response deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with an October 9, 2026 response deadline; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 response deadline. The code shows no relevant recent activity for its stated commodity definition and warrants clarification with procurement offices before pursuing opportunities under this designation.
