UNSPSC 85571507: Dilation of lingula bronchus, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation 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 0B797ZZ

UNSPSC 85571507 Dilation of lingula bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific pulmonary procedure — bears no relation to the state and local opportunities currently tagged under it. The six recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 encompass independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None involves bronchial dilation or pulmonary intervention. The issuing bodies span a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach, Seattle via Washington State Department of Transportation), a county health system (Santa Clara), a county probation department (Harris County), and a county benefits consortium (Collier County). The code appears to reflect a classification error rather than authentic procurement activity in this clinical area.

Recent activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration. The largest and most concrete recent opportunity is Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million, proposals due April 9, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP20260825 seeks occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations, proposals due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 solicits independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, proposals due October 16, 2026. Given the mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity, firms pursuing work in health services administration or occupational health should verify code assignment during bid preparation rather than rely on this code designation as a reliable signal.
