UNSPSC 85561248 Drainage of left external auditory canal with drainage device, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal clinical scope. The recent solicitations tagged under this code do not represent drainage or otologic procedures; instead, they span disability pension medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The code appears to reflect a taxonomic mismatch between the narrow clinical descriptor and the health services and benefits administration work actually being procured by state and local bodies. No issuing body or jurisdiction has posted a solicitation for the specific drainage procedure or related otologic surgical services under this code in the recent window.

The geographic activity shown includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), though the represented opportunities are scattered across different health service categories rather than concentrated in any single procurement discipline. The most substantive recent solicitations are the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), neither of which involves the drainage procedure named in the code. This code shows little decision relevance for vendors pursuing drainage services or otologic surgical device supply contracts with state and local bodies.
