UNSPSC 85561764 Removal of hearing device from left inner ear, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The source records five recent opportunities tagged to this code—spanning inmate medical and pharmacy services in Georgia, pharmacy benefit management in Florida, virtual primary and urgent care in Florida, peer support services in California, and fire department medical direction in California—none of which involve hearing device removal or otologic surgical procedures. The code's scope describes a specific surgical intervention, but the opportunities posted under it cover healthcare administration, pharmacy management, mental health services, and emergency medical oversight that bear no relationship to the removal of implanted or prosthetic hearing devices.

State and local procurement databases occasionally tag opportunities with codes that do not match the work actually being solicited, and this code appears to be one such case. The recent activity documented here reflects broad healthcare and behavioral health service procurement by county governments, school districts, and special-purpose health agencies, but it does not indicate actual demand for the surgical or medical device services this code nominally describes. Firms evaluating whether to pursue opportunities under this code should confirm the commodity classification directly with the issuing body before investing pre-bid resources, as the mismatch between code definition and posted opportunities suggests a tagging error rather than genuine procurement volume in this category.
