UNSPSC 85682610, Insertion of hearing device into right temporal bone, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect recent state and local government procurement activity. The source contains five recent state and local opportunities, none of which relate to surgical implantation of hearing devices. The recent solicitations cover inmate medical and pharmacy services (Columbus Consolidated Government), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support for peer workers in behavioral health (San Mateo County), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica). These opportunities fall under healthcare administration, benefits management, and clinical services procurement — not surgical device implantation. The code appears to be a clinical procedure code that state and local governments do not typically procure as a standalone service or product.

No recent state and local procurement activity under this code is present in the source material. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — and the actual content of opportunities tagged to it suggests that either the code is not actively used in state and local procurement or the tagging reflects a data classification error. Firms pursuing state and local health services opportunities should focus on broader family and class codes covering managed healthcare, employee benefits administration, and clinical service delivery rather than this specific commodity code.
