UNSPSC 85571410: Excision of right lower lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right lower 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 0BB67ZZ

UNSPSC 85571410 Excision of right lower lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that sits at the intersection of medical procedure coding and state and local government procurement, but the recent contract opportunities tagged under this code show a fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal clinical scope and what state and local agencies are actually buying. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 solicit comprehensive occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve excision of lung tissue or bronchial surgery. The tagging appears to reflect a data-classification error rather than intentional procurement of the surgical procedure itself.

The issuing bodies include a city pension board (Phoenix Retirement Office on behalf of Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara), a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), a county judicial authority (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and a county benefits consortium (Collier County). Geographic activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (75 annual disability benefit applications, $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for shipyard, engine, and deck crews, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (Audiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Orthopedic, Surgical/Operating Room services among others, due October 7, 2026). This code shows no current relevant activity aligned with its stated surgical scope and should be treated as inactive for procurement pursuit at this time.
