This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left lower lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening.

UNSPSC 85571223 Occlusion of left lower lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code whose abstract designation bears no meaningful connection to the state and local contract opportunities appearing under it in current procurement databases. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry system employees, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in county custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing for county health systems. None of these solicitations involve bronchial occlusion procedures or pulmonary interventions. The code shows significant misclassification or cross-tagging in state and local procurement systems, rendering it an unreliable filtering mechanism for vendors in the medical devices, diagnostic equipment, or clinical procedure space.

Issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged under this code include Arizona cities (Phoenix), California municipalities (Long Beach) and counties (Santa Clara, Collier), a state transportation department (Washington), and a county juvenile justice agency (Harris County, Texas). Recent representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system workers across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Texas, Washington, and Florida, with no state showing dominant activity. The code produces little actionable signal for procurement strategy and warrants manual review or reclassification at the source.
