UNSPSC 85683253 Removal of hearing device from skull, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose abstract name does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and examination scheduling, surgical procedure carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve hearing device removal or surgical procedures on the skull. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical scope; the mismatch between the code designation and the actual work being purchased suggests either a data-tagging error in the source opportunities or a classification that does not reflect current state and local procurement practice under this code.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal procurement bureaus (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health benefits administrators (Collier County and Santa Clara County), and county health systems. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with opportunities posted from mid-August through mid-September 2026.
