UNSPSC 85562207 Revision of synthetic substitute in right ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of medical services state and local governments are procuring. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational and disability medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency and specialty care for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and related administrative healthcare services — none of which involve otologic surgical implants or revisions. The code appears to be a miscategorization error in the state and local procurement databases; the posted opportunities are administrative healthcare management and staffing services, not the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners' offices (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation for ferry workers (due October 9, 2026, cost-based scoring with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (originally due April 9, 2026, with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million). No relevant opportunities matching the code's ostensible surgical scope are present in the source material.
