This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 0B587ZZ

UNSPSC 85571546 Destruction of left upper lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on the respiratory system—does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities recently tagged under it. The source records six recent solicitations, none of which concern surgical destruction of bronchial tissue; instead, they address independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgery carve-out benefit programs, emergency medical services procurement for youth in detention, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or that this Commodity code is not being used by state and local buyers for its intended purpose.

The recent opportunities that do appear under this code span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). Arizona's City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026, requesting independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications, with a response deadline of October 16, 2026 and a contract ceiling of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP 20260825 on August 25, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide, with proposals due October 9, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited, bidders should verify coding accuracy with the issuing jurisdictions before submitting proposals.
