This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0BC77ZZ

UNSPSC 85571362 Extirpation of matter from left main bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure; however, the six recent opportunities posted under this code across August and October 2026 solicit services that diverge materially from the code's scope — including independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve extirpation or removal of matter from the bronchus or any related pulmonary intervention.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of health services actually being tagged suggests that state and local procurement systems may be applying this code as a catch-all health services category rather than as a procedure-specific classification. The issuing bodies posting under this code include city pension boards (City of Phoenix), municipal health benefit programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), county corrections health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). Geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Business development activity should focus on monitoring the actual services being solicited — medical evaluation management, benefits administration, occupational health, and temporary clinical staffing — rather than pursuing the pulmonary-procedure scope the code nominally describes.
