UNSPSC 85572225: Occlusion of carina, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of carina, percutaneous 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 0BL23ZZ

UNSPSC 85572225 Occlusion of carina, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific clinical procedure — percutaneous occlusion of the carina — but the most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with that scope. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code cover independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for city employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve carina occlusion or percutaneous interventional procedures. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state or local procurement system or a broad and nonstandard application of the code to general medical service procurement.

Recent opportunities appear across multiple state and local jurisdictions with no single issuing body appearing more than once in the posted block. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 locations statewide with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The City of Long Beach posted an RFP (HR26753) for a surgical benefit carve-out program with proposals due October 7, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. Geographic spread includes Arizona, Washington, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), though the limited posting history and the code's apparent misapplication make this code unsuitable for targeting in the current procurement environment.
