UNSPSC 85571427: Drainage of lingula bronchus, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 0B997ZZ

UNSPSC 85571427 Drainage of lingula bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code for a highly specialized surgical procedure. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with its nominal medical procedure scope; instead, they reflect occupational health surveillance, medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, surgical network carve-outs, and temporary clinical staffing services. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the procurement postings or that this Commodity code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local contracting. The issuing bodies include county health systems, county human resources departments, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile probation departments, indicating procurement activity spans health plan administration, occupational medicine compliance, and institutional healthcare support functions rather than the specific bronchial drainage procedure the code names.

The geographic spread across recent postings includes Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), California (Santa Clara County, City of Long Beach), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefits administration including medical record summaries for approximately 75 annual applications, and the Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) spanning 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code shows no decision-relevant alignment with the narrowly defined surgical procedure it nominally describes; procurement professionals should verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under this commodity.
