UNSPSC 85562024 Removal of synthetic substitute from right ear, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care-out networks, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve otologic prosthetic removal or any ear-related procedure. The code appears to be a mismatch for the state and local opportunities currently posted under it.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), and county commissioners' purchasing offices (Collier County). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 (pre-bid conference August 31); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 over five years); and the Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFQ due October 7, 2026. Because the code's nominal scope does not align with any of the solicited work, pursuit under this code is not recommended without clarification of the tagging error.
