UNSPSC 85581313, Supplement pharynx with nonautologous tissue substitute via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code is a medical procedure classification designed for clinical or surgical contexts; the recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve pharyngeal augmentation or tissue substitution procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscategorization by the issuing bodies or automated tagging misalignment in the underlying procurement records.

State and local governments posting to this code span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas jurisdictions—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation for public safety disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-outs through Centers of Excellence), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty care for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Recent opportunities include an RFP from Phoenix due October 16, 2026, for medical record review and disability evaluation coordination ($750,000 over five years); an RFP from Long Beach due October 7, 2026, for surgical procedure networks and Centers of Excellence; an RFP from WSDOT due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry terminals; and an RFP from Santa Clara County Health System due October 7, 2026, for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professionals across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code shows no decision-relevant procurement signal aligned with its nominal scope.
