UNSPSC 85571518: Dilation of right lower lobe bronchus via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right lower lobe bronchus via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, 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 0B768DZ

UNSPSC 85571518 Dilation of right lower lobe bronchus via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code — spanning independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — involve health plan administration, occupational health screening, facility-based clinical staffing, and benefits processing but do not relate to bronchoscopic dilation procedures, which is a specific clinical intervention typically purchased through hospital supply chains or procedural service contracts rather than government procurement channels. The UNSPSC code appears to be a procedural taxonomy entry that state and local procurement systems have misclassified or applied as a catch-all for health services solicitations.

State and local purchasing activity does not align with the code's medical procedure specification. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach, Seattle), county transit authorities (Washington State Ferries), county detention systems (Harris County), county human resources and health consortia (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No opportunities specifically solicit bronchoscopic dilation devices, supplies, or services; the mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the actual health services content of recent solicitations suggests the code is not an active or appropriate classification for state and local government procurement in this category.
