UNSPSC 85571118 Repair carina, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually procuring in the recent opportunities tagged under it. The source contains six recent solicitations, none of which involve carina repair or any procedure matching that anatomical scope; instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, health plan surgical carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical roles. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being solicited suggests the code is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or the code definition does not align with how jurisdictions classify healthcare service purchasing. Issuing bodies across these opportunities include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), large cities (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), county commissioners' offices (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County), reflecting fragmented procurement across healthcare administration and occupational health functions rather than a unified clinical product or service line.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no concentration in any single state or region. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for proposals for occupational medical surveillance services for Washington State Ferries employees across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year initial term with optional extensions), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical specialties including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive, multiple-award, no guaranteed volume). This code shows no relevant recent activity aligned to its stated anatomical scope.
