UNSPSC 85571312: Insertion of endobronchial valve into left main 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 main 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 0BH77GZ

UNSPSC 85571312 Insertion of endobronchial valve into left main bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific invasive pulmonary procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension systems, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty hospital services for youth in custody. None of these procurements involve endobronchial valve insertion or related interventional bronchoscopy work.

This code shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope — a targeted interventional procedure performed in a clinical setting — and the broad health administration and workforce services being solicited suggests either a classification error in the source material or that state and local governments do not actively procure this specific procedure through formal competitive solicitations. Vendors evaluating opportunities under this code should verify categorization with issuing bodies before pursuing responses.
