UNSPSC 85562305 Extirpation of matter from left external auditory canal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code for which state and local governments show little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure on the external ear canal — does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. Those opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations for pension boards, surgical benefits carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these represent the procurement of the defined surgical service. The issuing bodies are geographically dispersed — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) — and represent a mix of city pension offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county human resources functions.

No direct procurement opportunities for the surgical procedure described by the code's UNSPSC name are evident in the recent solicitation record. The code appears to have been misapplied to broader medical services and benefits administration work. Business development professionals pursuing state and local healthcare and benefits procurement should focus on the underlying category structures and service families that govern these opportunities rather than this specific commodity code, which shows no authentic market activity matching its defined scope.
