This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right upper lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening.

UNSPSC 85571414 Excision of right upper lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the procedure named in the code. State and local governments are not procuring excision procedures themselves; they are procuring medical services delivery, administration, evaluation, and staffing to support employee benefits, occupational health programs, and public health systems. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing activity is substantial.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal governments (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and county health systems. Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity and warrants reassignment or recategorization by the issuing bodies if the intent is to track actual healthcare services procurement rather than specific surgical procedures.
