UNSPSC 85562073 Drainage of right external ear with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical procedure scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not involve ear drainage or percutaneous otologic procedures. Instead, the posted opportunities span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing pools (County of Santa Clara Health System). The mismatch suggests either miscoding in source databases or use of this code as a catch-all for medical services procurement; none of these activities align with the drainage procedure named in the code.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal employee benefits programs, state transportation departments, county corrections systems, county human resources divisions, and county health systems—a fragmented mix across multiple jurisdictions and public-body types. Geographic spread covers Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Response dates for representative opportunities range from September 25, 2026 (Harris County RFI) through October 16, 2026 (Phoenix independent medical evaluation RFP). Given the code's apparent misuse or the absence of actual drainage-procedure procurement activity in state and local markets, pursuit under this code's nominal scope is not recommended; business development professionals should instead track the specific medical-services categories actually being solicited by individual jurisdictions rather than relying on this commodity code.
