UNSPSC 85802102 Change ear packing material, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code appears designed for replacement or servicing of auditory prosthetic components, yet no posted opportunities match this profile in the recent dataset. Instead, state and local buying under tags assigned to this code spans occupational health screening, clinical laboratory services, medical surveillance, staffing for medically complex students, and emergency medical services—categories that fall outside auditory equipment maintenance.

The issuing bodies posting under related tags include school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District), county health authorities and corrections departments (Escambia County, Harris County, Boulder County Sheriff's Office, Collier County), state health agencies (Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal fire departments, and transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit). The geographic spread covers Florida, California, Texas, Illinois, Colorado, Washington, New York, and Georgia. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County Public Schools' staffing for medically fragile students (Notice of Intent to Purchase, response deadline December 2, 2025), Escambia County Corrections' onsite dialysis services (RFP, due November 3, 2026), Boulder County Sheriff's Office EMT staffing (RFP, due October 26, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance (RFP, due October 9, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned to its auditory product definition; the mismatch suggests a taxonomy coding error in the source data.
