UNSPSC 85562233, Removal of drainage device from left ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code address occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and specialty surgical carve-out programs—none of which involve drainage device removal or otologic surgery.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement system or that this Commodity code does not see routine procurement activity at the state and local government level. Vendors should verify correct UNSPSC classification through the issuing body before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged under this code.
