This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right upper lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0B948ZZ

UNSPSC 85571445 Drainage of right upper lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical description and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect the specific pulmonary procedure named in the code's title; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare services. State and local governments are not systematically buying or contracting for this specific bronchial drainage procedure through public procurement channels. The code appears to be misapplied to broader healthcare administration and staffing solicitations, suggesting either a tagging error in the source data or use of an overly broad medical taxonomy tier that does not correspond to actual contracting scope.

The geographic spread of activity under this code—where it does appear—spans multiple regions: Washington State (Washington State Ferries occupational surveillance), Arizona (Phoenix pension system medical evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out and Santa Clara Health System staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency medical services). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026 (RFP, cost-based scoring); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026 (RFP, $750,000 maximum over five years); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. Given the mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation scope, vendors should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under 85571445.
