UNSPSC 85561760 Removal of synthetic substitute from right ear, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal procedural title does not align with actual state and local procurement activity under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged with this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs for government employees, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve ear surgery or prosthetic removal. The code shows a mismatch between its clinical taxonomy name and its current use in state and local contract opportunities, suggesting either data-entry inconsistency in how opportunities are being classified or a systemic tagging error within procurement systems.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include state health departments and transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources divisions (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal pension and retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office). Recent representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation and disability benefits support, due October 16, 2026 for a $750,000 five-year contract; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for its Anthem PPO plan, due October 7, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award pool for temporary clinical staffing across thirteen ancillary health professional categories, due October 7, 2026. Geographic spread covers California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas, with no apparent concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. The code exhibits little relevant recent activity tied to its stated clinical scope.
