UNSPSC 85571316: Insertion of endobronchial valve into right middle 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 right middle 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 0BH57GZ

UNSPSC 85571316 Insertion of endobronchial valve into right middle lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a highly specific surgical procedure—and the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The recent solicitations posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities directly involve the endobronchial valve procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara Health System).

The geographic spread of recent activity covers California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Arizona (Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington State ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code exhibits substantial mismatch between its Commodity title and the actual work being procured; it does not reflect active state and local procurement for the specific procedure named and appears to be a data-classification error rather than a meaningful procurement category for this tier.
