UNSPSC 85571523: Dilation of right middle lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right middle lobe 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 0B757ZZ

UNSPSC 85571523 Dilation of right middle lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy entry does not align with the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged with this code show no medical procedure or bronchial intervention work; instead, the code appears in solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the operational health services being bought suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or drift in how this Commodity has been repurposed in state and local procurement systems.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation). Issuing bodies include city procurement offices, county human resources and health divisions, county juvenile probation departments, and state transportation agencies. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at ferry terminals across 14 statewide locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees (due April 9, 2026, with historical annual spending around $8.7 million). None of these opportunities involve bronchial dilation or related endoscopic procedures, indicating that this code does not currently serve as a reliable classification for medical procurement activity at the state and local level.
