UNSPSC 85816602: Irrigation of ear using irrigating substance, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to irrigation of ear using irrigating substance, via natural or artificial opening. 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 3E1B78Z

UNSPSC 85816602 Irrigation of ear using irrigating substance, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal medical-procedure scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 reflect broader healthcare administration and staffing solicitations—pension disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve ear irrigation or the direct delivery of that specific otologic procedure. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all taxonomy tag to health-related RFPs rather than as a descriptor of actual goods or services being procured.

No state or local issuing body is currently soliciting ear irrigation supplies, equipment, or services under this code. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the administrative or staffing nature of recent opportunities suggests this Commodity code does not align with active state and local buying patterns in this period. Vendors pursuing healthcare contracts with state and local entities should monitor higher-tier family and class codes within occupational health, employee benefits administration, and clinical staffing instead, where the recent activity concentrates.
