UNSPSC 85571772 Supplement carina with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical medical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with that scope. The five opportunities on record—spanning inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services—represent healthcare administration, benefits management, and clinical governance rather than surgical procedures or implantation services. The code appears to be either misapplied by issuing bodies or captures a narrow procedural service that is not generating state and local solicitation activity.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; and Santa Mateo County, California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica Fire Department, California), with no school districts or transit authorities represented. No single jurisdiction appears as a repeat buyer. Geographic activity is dispersed across California, Florida, and Georgia with no concentration pattern. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 members with historical spending around $8.7 million annually (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The mismatch between the code's stated purpose and the actual work being solicited suggests this code may not be a reliable source for procurement pipeline development in this service area.
