UNSPSC 85561816 Inspection of right inner ear, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title bears no relation to the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. Recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational and disability medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, specialty surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve otologic inspection. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope; the opportunities tagged to it span general healthcare procurement and benefits administration rather than ear examination services.

Activity across the opportunities is geographically dispersed, with recent solicitations from Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation's ferries medical surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County Health System), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Issuing bodies include state departments, county health systems, county procurement offices, city retirement offices, and county juvenile probation departments. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 statewide locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026 with maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years), and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and respiratory care (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle).
