UNSPSC 85571771 Supplement carina with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal description bears no relationship to the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities show no surgical-procedure or tissue-substitute procurement; instead, the code captures a wide range of unrelated health-services work including occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. The code's taxonomy label does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this designation, and no meaningful market characterization can be drawn from opportunities that span occupational health compliance, benefits administration, emergency care, and clinical staffing — each fundamentally different in scope, duration, vendor qualification, and procurement approach.

State and local issuing bodies tagging work under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County Juvenile Probation), county government administrative divisions (Collier County Board of Commissioners), municipal government (City of Long Beach, City of Phoenix), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No single category or geographic concentration emerges; the code appears to serve as a catch-all for health-services procurement that lacks a precise UNSPSC match. Representative recent work includes the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). Business development professionals should verify the actual scope of work in each issuing body's detailed RFP rather than rely on the UNSPSC code designation.
