UNSPSC 85812016: Introduction of other diagnostic substance into ear, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of other diagnostic substance into ear, external approach. This administrative intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 3E0BXKZ

UNSPSC 85812016 Commodity code Introduction of other diagnostic substance into ear, external approach does not match recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally addresses a narrow medical procedure—diagnostic substance introduction into the ear canal—but recent solicitations tagged under this code span telehealth services, nursing home operations, occupational health screenings, cancer registries, medical directorships, employee wellness platforms, and opioid use disorder treatment. This disconnect suggests the code may be misapplied to opportunities in state and local procurement systems, or the code itself does not describe the actual scope of work being bought.

Surveying the opportunities by issuing-body type reveals activity across state health authorities (Nevada Health Authority, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Colorado Department of Human Services, New Jersey Department of Health), counties (Brevard, Cobb, Forsyth, DeKalb, Santa Clara, Seminole, Sarasota, Ventura, Sedgwick, Jackson, Solano), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Atlanta, City of Ocala), school districts (Parkway School District), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, H-GAC, Region 7). No single issuing body dominates the code; activity is widely distributed. Geographic spread encompasses California (San Mateo Medical Center, Inland Empire Health Plan), Nevada, Georgia (DeKalb, Cobb, Forsyth), Colorado, Texas, Florida, New Jersey, Kansas, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and the District of Columbia. Representatives of recent opportunities include the Nevada Health Authority's PACE operations RFP (proposals due December 10, 2026) requesting comprehensive elderly care delivery, the San Mateo Medical Center's Cancer Registry Services RFP (proposals due October 12, 2026, noting a typographical inconsistency in the source) for casefinding and coding services, and Sedgwick County's Integrated Care RFP (26-0081, proposals due September 15, 2026) for evidence-based opioid use disorder treatment. Because the code's stated definition and actual recent procurement activity diverge substantially, this category shows little usable signal for targeted business development.
