UNSPSC 85561829 Extraction of left tympanic membrane, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The four posted opportunities in the source — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for county employees, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — bear no relationship to surgical extraction of a tympanic membrane or otologic procedures generally. The code appears to be a highly specialized medical procedure code designed for healthcare billing and claims taxonomy rather than state and local government procurement of goods or services.

State and local procurement activity under this code cannot be reliably characterized on the basis of the available records. The opportunities posted under this UNSPSC number reflect administrative health services, managed care, and medical direction roles — none of which involve the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either a data quality issue in the source records or a systematic misalignment between how this particular code is tagged in state and local procurement systems and its actual clinical scope. Business development professionals should verify whether this code is actively used by state and local buyers for relevant work before investing pursuit resources.
