UNSPSC 85571501: Dilation of left lower lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left lower 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 0B7B8ZZ

UNSPSC 85571501, Dilation of left lower lobe bronchus via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve bronchial dilation procedures or endoscopic interventions. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification misapplied to broader health services procurement; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual goods and services being bought suggests limited relevance for vendors pursuing opportunities under this taxonomy.

The issuing bodies in the recent record include a city retirement office (Phoenix), two municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), and a county government (Collier County). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical procedure description and the administrative and staffing services being procured, vendors should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this taxonomy.
