UNSPSC 85571535: Dilation of carina, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of 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 0B727ZZ

UNSPSC 85571535 Dilation of carina, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical procedure title and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect state and local health service procurement across a range of clinical and administrative healthcare functions — medical record review and disability evaluation coordination, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit networks, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which describe carina dilation or related endoscopic interventions. State and local issuers using this code include city pension boards, departments of transportation, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal employee benefits offices. The work being solicited encompasses clinical evaluation services, benefit administration, occupational medicine compliance, and staffing — essentially the infrastructure of public-sector health program management rather than a discrete clinical procedure.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026 (response due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026 (response due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, with pre-bid conference on August 31; the County of Santa Clara Health System issued RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026 (response due October 7, 2026) for a qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical and support categories on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis. The code shows no coherent procurement signal and appears to reflect either a coding error or a mislabeled opportunity in the state and local procurement system. Business developers should verify accurate UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities under this code.
