UNSPSC 85561610 Revision of drainage device in right ear, open approach is a Commodity code whose title does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefit programs, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and related healthcare administration — none of which involve otologic surgical procedures or drainage-device revision. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code to a broad range of healthcare contracting that does not match the code's actual clinical scope, creating a mismatch between the taxonomy label and the work being bought.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Recent geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 with a two-year initial term and optional extensions; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Given the absence of recent solicitations for otologic surgical procedures or ear drainage device revision work under this code, the code shows no decision-relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.
