This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement carina with synthetic 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 0BU24JZ

UNSPSC 85572469 Supplement carina with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit program administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve carina supplementation or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity indicates either a tagging error across multiple jurisdictions or that this code has been repurposed in state and local systems to capture broader medical administration and staffing services unrelated to its formal taxonomy title.

Recent activity under this code shows no coherent procurement pattern. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum, due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out program administration for Anthem Blue Cross enrollees, due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested proposals for occupational medical surveillance services with responses due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026; Collier County solicited pharmacy benefit management services with approximately $8.7 million in annual historical spending, due April 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Issuing bodies include county systems, state departments, city retirement offices, and independent health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated medical procedure scope.
