UNSPSC 85561514 Extirpation of matter from right external auditory canal, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific otologic surgical procedure—does not match the nature of the opportunities tagged under it in recent state and local solicitations.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation), independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical and medical procedure carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve ear canal procedures or otologic intervention. The mismatch between the code's procedure-specific title and the diversity of unrelated medical administration and staffing work tagged under it suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or the code's use as a placeholder for broader medical services categories. Practitioners pursuing medical services contracts under this code should verify the actual scope of work in each solicitation notice rather than relying on the code name alone.
