This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left eustachian tube, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic.

UNSPSC 85561317 Extirpation of matter from left eustachian tube, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows no recent state or local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedural scope. The recent solicitations tagged under this code are unrelated to the code's nominal medical procedure — they encompass independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefits network management, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. State and local procurement offices appear to have misapplied this code to broader occupational health, disability medical evaluation, and employee health benefit administration services rather than the specific otologic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch signals that the code is not a reliable vehicle for pursuing state and local government work in its intended clinical domain.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal government human resources and health system departments (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and county health benefit consortiums (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 statewide ferry locations (due October 9, 2026). No opportunity in the recent pipeline matches the code's stated clinical scope, and pursuit under this code is not recommended.
