This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right main bronchus, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0BQ37ZZ

UNSPSC 85571116 Repair right main bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code whose nominal scope does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code represents a specific surgical procedure, yet the opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. These solicitations reflect operational healthcare administration, workforce occupational health programs, and benefits management rather than direct repair or bronchial intervention services. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix Retirement Office on behalf of the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards). A single opportunity aligns tangentially with the code's clinical scope—the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program covering orthopedic, cardiac, and other specialty procedures through Centers of Excellence—but this is benefits administration and network management, not direct surgical delivery.

Recent activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington, with one opportunity from Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, with a five-year term maximum of $750,000 commencing February 3, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations, requiring board certification in occupational medicine and covering baseline, periodic, and exit examinations. The City of Long Beach posted an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits targeting Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures. The code shows a significant mismatch between its clinical taxonomy definition and the administrative and occupational health procurement activity currently being solicited under it; prospective vendors should verify the actual scope with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
