UNSPSC 85571310: Insertion of endobronchial valve into left upper lobe 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 left upper lobe 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 0BH87GZ

UNSPSC 85571310 Insertion of endobronchial valve into left upper lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific minimally invasive pulmonary procedure. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little relevant activity aligned with the procedural scope; instead, the solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve endobronchial valve insertion or direct pulmonary intervention. The apparent mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source records or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices to solicit work related to the procedure it nominally describes.

The geographic footprint of recent postings spans Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no single jurisdiction emerging as a repeat buyer under this code. The most substantive opportunity is the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825), due October 9, 2026, requiring board-certified occupational physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; however, this work involves occupational health screening rather than bronchial valve procedures. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code shows little actionable opportunity for firms specializing in endobronchial or pulmonary interventional services.
