UNSPSC 85562054 Extirpation of matter from left external ear, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical medical procedure descriptor does not correspond to the health services, staffing, benefit administration, and medical evaluation work actually being solicited by state and local bodies under this code designation.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these services involve extirpation procedures or otologic intervention. The issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System—a mix of municipal pension boards, state transportation agencies, county human services departments, and public health systems. The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for public safety personnel, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The code shows material procurement activity under state and local issuing bodies, but the work bears no substantive relationship to the code's stated commodity scope.
