UNSPSC 85561226, Extirpation of matter from left external auditory canal via natural or artificial opening, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve ear canal procedures or otologic interventions. The mismatch between the code's nominal medical procedure definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a mismatch between the code's intended use and state and local procurement practice.

The opportunities that do appear under this code originate from a geographically dispersed issuing-body mix: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical examination services (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026). Without verified procurement data showing ear canal procedure work under this code, the Commodity appears inactive for its stated scope.
