UNSPSC 85561839 Extirpation of matter from left external auditory canal, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's specific designation for a surgical procedure targeting the external auditory canal. The mismatch suggests the code may have been applied incorrectly to these opportunities or state and local procurement offices are using it in a manner that diverges significantly from its clinical definition.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include county government (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), a major city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), and a municipal health system (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The opportunities show no pattern of repeat buyers under this code, and the scope divergence across them indicates this code may not be a reliable vehicle for pursuing medical services contracts. No representative recent opportunities directly address the code's stated scope.
