UNSPSC 85562051 Extirpation of matter from right tympanic membrane, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific otological surgical procedure; however, the six most recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve tympanic membrane procedures or otological services. The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical scope and the breadth of general health administration and workforce health services actually being procured suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code itself has been repurposed to capture administrative health services well outside its stated taxonomy definition.

The jurisdictions posting opportunities under this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation systems (Harris County), and county health benefits consortiums (Collier County). Recent solicitations are concentrated in California and Arizona, with activity in Washington State and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations at a $750,000 five-year maximum, the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the code's stated definition and the absence of any posted tympanic membrane or otological procedure opportunities, this code does not reflect genuine demand for its nominal service line among state and local buyers.
