UNSPSC 85561912 Drainage of right tympanic membrane with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — tympanic membrane drainage — yet the six most recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency youth detention healthcare services. None of these solicitations involve tympanic membrane drainage or related otologic procedures.

The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems that tagged these opportunities or a divergence between the code's nominal scope and how state and local jurisdictions are actually applying it. Without opportunities that align to the code's stated medical procedure, no issuing-body pattern, geographic concentration, or representative work can be reliably identified. Firms evaluating this code should verify with issuing bodies directly whether tympanic membrane drainage services are actually being procured, or treat the code as inactive for current state and local contracting purposes.
