UNSPSC 85561916 Drainage of right middle ear with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity among state and local procurement opportunities. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—otologic drainage with device insertion via an open approach—but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not involve this procedure or related otologic services.

The six most recent solicitations in the data block reflect instead a mix of unrelated health services procurement: independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical carve-out benefit programs for government employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), and temporary ancillary clinical staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these scopes involve middle ear drainage procedures or otologic surgical intervention. The code assignment appears to reflect a data-taxonomy mismatch rather than active procurement of the service the code nominally describes. State and local governments do solicit health services across multiple UNSPSC families and classes—clinical staffing, benefit administration, occupational health, and detention healthcare among them—but this particular Commodity code does not align with current solicitation activity in the recent-opportunities record.
