UNSPSC 85802508 Packing of mouth and pharynx using packing material is a Commodity code representing specialized medical procedures used in state and local healthcare procurement, though recent state and local opportunities show little direct alignment with this specific code's narrow scope. The opportunities posted under this code in the source material do not appear to involve packing of mouth and pharynx using packing material; instead, they span nursing staffing for medically fragile students, virtual urgent care services, dialysis services, laboratory testing, occupational health services, drug and alcohol testing, phlebotomy and courier services, and medical surveillance — activities that fall outside the code's defined scope. The issuing bodies sourcing work tagged to this code include a large Florida school district, a county corrections department, regional health plans and hospital systems, state health and human services agencies, county purchasing offices, and transit authorities across multiple states. The recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Florida, Illinois, Texas, California, and Nevada, with additional solicitations from Colorado, New York, Kentucky, Michigan, and the District of Columbia.

The most recent opportunities tagged to this code include Hillsborough County Public Schools' Notice of Intent to Purchase Single/Sole Source for comprehensive 1:1 nursing staffing for medically fragile students (posted October 19, 2026, protest period ended November 27, 2025), Escambia County Corrections Department's RFP for onsite chronic dialysis services for inmate patients (posted October 7, 2026, responses due November 3, 2026), the District of Columbia Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services' RFP for general laboratory services in fiscal year 2027 (posted October 5, 2026, responses due October 12, 2026), the State of Illinois' RFP for FY 27 IVHM preemployment physicals, weightlifting assessments, and respiratory fit testing (posted September 23, 2026, responses due October 8, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services on behalf of Washington State Ferries (posted August 25, 2026, responses due October 9, 2026). The code shows no recent activities that directly reflect packing of mouth and pharynx medical procedures; state and local procurement activity under this code designation appears to reflect broader miscoding or administrative tagging rather than the specific commodity the code nominally describes. Bidders should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before responding.
