UNSPSC 85572468: Supplement carina with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement carina with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0BU24KZ

UNSPSC 85572468 Supplement carina with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving cardiac tissue repair—does not align with the posted opportunities appearing under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve supplementing the carina with nonautologous tissue or percutaneous endoscopic approaches. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement system or that the code is being used as a catch-all for broader healthcare service categories outside its intended surgical-procedure scope.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include a city retirement office (Phoenix), city employee benefits programs (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile justice system (Harris County), a county benefits consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Because the code's documented procurement activity does not reflect its stated clinical scope, business development professionals should verify the code assignment before committing resources to pursue opportunities listed under it.
