UNSPSC 85561761 Removal of intraluminal device from right ear, open approach (Commodity) shows a pronounced mismatch between its medical-procedure nomenclature and the actual scope of state and local work being solicited under the code. Recent opportunities tagged to this code do not center on removal of intraluminal devices from the ear; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. The code appears to be misapplied across a diverse range of healthcare administration and occupational health contracting rather than procedure-specific surgical services. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners and human resources divisions, county health systems and departments, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments—a mix reflecting local government healthcare procurement across multiple operational and administrative contexts.

Recent activity clusters in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services—disability medical record summarization and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications to the Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted RFP 20260825 on August 25, 2026 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations, requiring board certification in occupational medicine and 24/7 technical support, with a two-year initial term and extension options to five years. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis with no guaranteed work volume. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated procedure scope.
