UNSPSC 85581327 Repair pharynx, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code whose recent state and local solicitations show minimal alignment with the abstract code name. The six most recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which directly describe pharyngeal repair procedures. The issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose districts (health systems). This code shows little relevant recent activity for the service it nominally describes.

The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The most concrete recent opportunity under this nominal code is the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.), which seeks disability medical record summary preparation and physician examination coordination for approximately 75 annual pension benefit applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000 beginning February 3, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requires physician-directed baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations across 14 ferry-system locations statewide. Neither opportunity involves pharyngeal repair procedures. Procurement professionals should verify that work under this code actually falls within their target service lines before pursuing leads, as the code's nominal scope does not reflect current state and local demand.
