UNSPSC 85562023, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right ear, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical procedure descriptor does not match the scope of work in the six recent opportunities posted under this code, which collectively cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. State and local buyers have tagged these solicitations to the code, but the work being purchased—institutional health administration, staffing, and benefits management—bears no operational relationship to surgical removal of ear tissue substitutes. The issuing bodies include a state department of transportation (Washington State Ferries), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), and municipal retirement offices and personnel departments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). No single buyer appears more than once in the recent opportunities block.

Geographic spread extends across Washington, California, Arizona, Florida, and Texas based on the six posted opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), which sought baseline and periodic medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026), structured to support approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026, multiple-award, non-exclusive, five-year qualified list). The code demonstrates low signal for pursued business in state and local procurement—the procedural code descriptor and the actual work being solicited are substantively misaligned, suggesting either consistent mislabeling in the jurisdiction coding systems or that this code tier does not reflect material procurement activity in the state and local market.
