UNSPSC 85571308: Insertion of endobronchial valve into lingula bronchus, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of endobronchial valve into lingula 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 0BH97GZ

UNSPSC 85571308 Insertion of endobronchial valve into lingula bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no meaningful relationship to that scope. The code shows minimal relevant procurement activity; recent solicitations include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve the insertion of endobronchial valves or related pulmonary interventions. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, county health systems, and state transportation agencies, with no pattern of repeat buyers under this code.

The geographic distribution of activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations statewide (due October 9, 2026) with a two-year initial term and optional five-year extension; and Santa Clara County Health System posted an RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026) on a non-exclusive, no-guarantee basis. The code appears to carry a tagging error in procurement systems, as the substantive activity does not align with the endobronchial valve procedure it nominally describes.
