UNSPSC 85682608 Insertion of hearing device into left temporal bone, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical designation does not align with the opportunities currently posted under it. The most recent contract opportunities posted under this code include comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve surgical implantation of hearing devices. The issuing bodies represent a broad mix of state and local health and human services jurisdictions: county corrections departments, county board of commissioners procurement divisions acting on behalf of health benefit consortia and human resources departments, county health agencies, and municipal fire departments. Georgia (Muscogee County Prison medical services), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management and Monroe County virtual care), California (San Mateo County peer support pilot), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department medical director services) are represented in the recent opportunities.

Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 posted April 15, 2026, for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (response due May 15, 2026, with a current monthly contract value of $95,537.71); Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services posted April 9, 2026 (response due April 9, 2026, covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical pharmacy spending around $8.7 million annually); Monroe County, Florida's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services posted March 14, 2026 (response due April 16, 2026, for approximately 2,300 county members); San Mateo County Health's RFP No. 2025-007 for a mental health peer support pilot posted February 25, 2026 (response due July 2, 2025, with total funding of $580,000); and the Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director posted February 25, 2026 (response due October 16, 2025). This code shows limited decision relevance for vendors focused on hearing device implantation or audiology services and appears to be misapplied to general health services procurement.
