UNSPSC 85561524 Drainage of right external auditory canal with drainage device, external approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal clinical scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve drainage procedures, external auditory canal treatment, or related medical devices; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-outs, specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The code shows little evidence of state and local governments actually purchasing the specific procedural service or supply its name describes.

No recent solicitations in the source material reflect procurement of drainage devices or external auditory canal procedures. The tagged opportunities represent health care administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing rather than the operative or device-based intervention the code nominates. The geographic and issuing-body spread across the recent records — including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and Santa Clara Health System (California) — indicates activity under broader health and human services categories, not this specific commodity code. A business development professional evaluating pursuit under this code should treat the tagging as a classification mismatch and seek clarification on whether state and local governments are actively procuring external auditory drainage procedures and devices, or whether the code assignment reflects administrative miscategorization.
