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 0B9470Z

UNSPSC 85571448 Drainage of right upper lobe bronchus via natural or artificial opening drainage device, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The code's abstract description refers to a specific surgical drainage procedure, but the recent solicitations posted under this code cover occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which involve the procedure named in the code. State and local procurement systems appear to have applied this code inconsistently or as a catch-all category for health-related services contracting rather than for the procedure itself.

The geographic spread of tagged opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), California (City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County Health System), Washington State (Department of Transportation ferries division), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (approximately 75 annual applications, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, with examinations by board-certified occupational physicians; and Collier County's April 9, 2026 RFP for pharmacy benefit management services for 2,400 employees covering $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending. The code itself generates no decision-relevant signal for pursuing health-related procurement—the mismatch between nominal scope and actual opportunities suggests either systematic misclassification or limited practical utility of this code for business development purposes.
