This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0BC97ZZ

UNSPSC 85571358 Extirpation of matter from lingula bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific pulmonary surgical procedure—does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local bodies in the recent-opportunities block. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 address independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None involve the lingula bronchus procedure named in the code. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities with this code in error or as a placeholder; no issuing body is actively soliciting pulmonary surgical services, post-operative care, or related clinical work under this commodity number.

Because the code does not reflect genuine procurement activity matching its definition, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for contracting purposes. The geographic and issuing-body profile shown—Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—and the service lines represented do not align with the code's intended scope. Monitor whether future state and local RFPs correct the tagging or whether demand for lingula bronchus procedures emerges under a different UNSPSC classification.
