UNSPSC 85571527: Dilation of right upper 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 upper 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 0B747ZZ

UNSPSC 85571527 Dilation of right upper lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure (bronchial dilation), yet the solicitations posted against it span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency youth detention medical services—none of which involve bronchial dilation or the procedural clinical scope the code implies. This classification mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or inconsistent application of UNSPSC codes across state and local procurement systems.

The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect routine state and local health benefits and occupational health administration rather than clinical procedural services. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension determinations (RFP due October 16, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFQ due October 7, 2026). Collier County is requesting pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members, and the City of Long Beach is soliciting surgical benefit carve-out management for Centers of Excellence. The issuing bodies are state departments, county health systems and human services agencies, municipal employee benefits offices, and transit authorities. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, Florida, California, and Texas. The code shows recent activity but reflects administrative health services procurement misaligned with the code's procedural descriptor.
