UNSPSC 85802501 Removal of ear packing material, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. The code's abstract scope—post-procedural ear care consumables—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The single recent solicitation, Hillsborough County Public Schools' Notice of Intent to Purchase Single/Sole Source for Staffing Services for Medically Fragile Students (Solicitation 25619SSDDST, due December 2, 2025), addresses 1:1 nursing staffing for students with complex health needs including ventilator management, tracheostomy care, and medication administration—a healthcare staffing and clinical services procurement entirely unrelated to ear packing material removal. The remaining opportunities in the dataset span occupational health exams, laboratory testing, drug screening, phlebotomy, dialysis services, blood products, and various clinical specialties across jurisdictions including school districts, counties, state departments, and health authorities nationwide. None address the consumable or procedural focus the commodity code nominally describes.

The code appears to have been misapplied to the Hillsborough County nursing staffing opportunity. State and local procurement activity under this code, if it occurs, is either infrequent or systematically miscoded in available opportunity records. No geographic concentration, issuing-body pattern, or actionable market signal emerges from the source material.
