UNSPSC 85561918 Drainage of left external auditory canal with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, and emergency/specialty healthcare services for youth in custody—none of which involve drainage procedures, otologic surgery, or the specific clinical intervention the code nominates. The mismatch suggests the code is either infrequently used by state and local procurement offices or has been misapplied in recent postings.

State and local buyers—including the Washington State Department of Transportation, City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System, and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department—are instead soliciting broad occupational health, benefits administration, and temporary clinical staffing services. If your firm pursues this code, validate with procurement offices directly whether they intend to tag medical device procurement or surgical procedures under it, or whether the recent postings represent administrative miscoding.
