UNSPSC 85561233 Excision of left external auditory canal, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work being solicited under it by state and local agencies. The recent opportunities tagged to this code describe occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve auditory canal procedures or otologic surgery. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual buying activity suggests that this Commodity code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

State and local agencies issuing under this code include county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, city health departments, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The geographic spread spans western and southern states, with recent activity clustered in Washington, California, Florida, and Arizona. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code's continued application to unrelated medical services indicates either systematic tagging error or a mismatch between taxonomy and procurement practice at these agencies.
