UNSPSC 85571809: Resection of carina, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of carina, open approach. 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 0BT20ZZ

UNSPSC 85571809 Resection of carina, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for removal of the carina — the anatomical structure where the trachea bifurcates — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, county pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services, and fire department medical director contracts. None of these activities involve surgical resection procedures or operative care for carina pathology. The mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the healthcare administration, primary care delivery, and occupational support services actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data attribution error. State and local governments do procure medical services broadly — jails and prisons contract for comprehensive inmate healthcare, counties manage employee pharmacy benefits, and municipalities engage physicians for public safety roles — but those activities do not map to operative thoracic procedures.

Recent opportunities span Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management and Monroe County virtual care services), Georgia (Muscogee County inmate medical and pharmacy services), California (San Mateo County peer support services), and California again (Santa Monica Fire Department medical director), with no geographic concentration evident. The Muscogee County RFP (May 15, 2026 response date) seeks comprehensive medical and pharmacy services for a 576-inmate facility under annual contract starting at approximately $95,537.71 monthly; Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (April 9, 2026 deadline) covers roughly 7,200 members with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million. None of these solicitations are purchasing surgical procedures or related to the code's stated commodity scope. If your firm pursues healthcare delivery to state and local jurisdictions — incarceration healthcare, employee benefits administration, virtual primary care, occupational health services — consult the appropriate Family or Class codes for those service lines rather than this Commodity code, which exhibits little or no relevant procurement activity.
