UNSPSC 85571245: Occlusion of right upper lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right upper lobe bronchus, 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 0BL48ZZ

UNSPSC 85571245 Occlusion of right upper lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful alignment with the state and local government procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension systems, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve bronchial occlusion procedures or endoscopic interventions specific to the upper lobe. The mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding error in the state and local procurement databases or use of a clinical taxonomy code for administrative health services contracting, where the code's medical nomenclature bears no operational relevance to what is actually being bought.

The issuing bodies include state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and pension authorities (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix). Geographic spread encompasses Washington, California, Florida, Arizona, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Ferries' RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, via IFB structure with cost-based scoring), the City of Phoenix's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026, RFP), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed work). No procurement activity reflected here engages the specific clinical procedure named in the code; firms pursuing state and local health services contracts should verify actual UNSPSC coding before aligning business development strategy to this Commodity classification.
