UNSPSC 85571317: Insertion of endobronchial valve into 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 insertion of endobronchial valve into 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 0BH48GZ

UNSPSC 85571317 Insertion of endobronchial valve into right upper lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific minimally invasive surgical procedure — placement of an endobronchial valve in the pulmonary system — yet the six recent solicitations in the state and local contract-opportunities block reflect requests for administrative and clinical services spanning occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record summarization, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve endobronchial valve insertion or related pulmonary intervention procedures.

The recent activity suggests the code has been misapplied across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies — including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Because the posted opportunities bear no substantive relationship to the code's stated clinical service line, the code shows little relevant recent procurement activity and does not serve as a reliable indicator of actual state and local buying patterns in this commodity category.
