UNSPSC 85571965 Extirpation of matter from carina, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a surgical procedure focused on tissue removal from the carina via open approach—appears to be a clinical procedure classification from a medical taxonomy rather than a procurement vehicle. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These represent health benefit administration, staffing procurement, and occupational health services rather than surgical procedure procurement. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or an unusual application of clinical procedure codes to administrative health services contracting.

The issuing bodies in the recent posting include state health agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, Ferries division), county health systems and government offices (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and city retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic spread includes California, Florida, Arizona, Washington, and Texas. A representative opportunity is the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for Independent Medical Evaluation Services (due October 16, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries' RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31). The code shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope.
