This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from tracheobronchial tree, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0BP080Z

UNSPSC 85571145 Removal of drainage device from tracheobronchial tree, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure; however, recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect tracheobronchial interventions. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determination, specialty surgical carve-out benefits for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth, and surgical procedure care coordination through centers of excellence. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being procured by state and local bodies under this classification. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and city offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). No pattern of repeat buyers emerges from the recent opportunities.

Recent activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative current opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for Washington State Ferries personnel across 14 locations statewide, due October 9, 2026 (IFB format with cost-based scoring); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services and disability medical record summary preparation, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program managing specialized center-of-excellence networks for approximately 3,800 municipal employees and retirees, due October 7, 2026, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027. The code's recent procurement activity does not align with its stated definition and should be treated as a classification anomaly rather than a meaningful procurement category.
