This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from carina, via natural or artificial opening. This surgical 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 0BC27ZZ

UNSPSC 85571372 Extirpation of matter from carina, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the work state and local governments are actually purchasing under this code designation. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect the medical procedure specified in the code name; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, employee benefit plan administration, and temporary health professional staffing services. The issuing bodies are mixed: city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county government employers (Collier County), and municipal employee benefit offices (Long Beach). None of these opportunities involve surgical or procedural extraction; the code appears to be a tagging error or misclassification in the underlying procurement notice systems.

Activity is spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), focused on disability medical record summarization and physician examination coordination for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications with a $750,000 five-year maximum; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), requiring baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent opportunities that substantively match its stated definition, making this category a poor fit for business development targeting surgical or procedural extraction work.
