UNSPSC 85571516: Dilation of left main bronchus via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left main bronchus via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, 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 0B777DZ

UNSPSC 85571516 Dilation of left main bronchus via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment between its nominal medical procedure scope and the state and local procurement opportunities actually being solicited under this tag. Recent opportunities posted against the code span independent medical evaluation services, surgery benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve bronchial dilation procedures or endoscopic interventions. The code appears to be a taxonomic mismatch, likely the result of a state or local procurement system tagging healthcare or medical services broadly without precision to the specific procedural or clinical domain the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health plans (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's recent activity reflects healthcare administration and staffing procurement rather than any procedural category UNSPSC 85571516 nominally addresses. Bidders should verify code alignment with the actual solicitation before responding, as the taxonomic tag here does not reliably signal work scope.
