This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right middle lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic.

UNSPSC 85571551 Destruction of right middle lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing placement, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employee benefit plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the surgical procedure implied by the code's clinical description. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement and appears to be a classification mismatch.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 include an RFQ by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office for independent disability medical evaluation services (RFP due October 16, 2026), an RFP by the City of Long Beach for surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees (RFP due October 7, 2026), an RFP by the Washington State Department of Transportation for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference), an RFI by Harris County Juvenile Probation Department for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI due September 25, 2026), an RFP by Collier County for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP deadline April 9, 2026, backdated), and an RFSQ by the County of Santa Clara Health System for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQ due October 7, 2026). Issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and municipalities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code's miscategorization suggests that vendors should verify code assignments during opportunity evaluation rather than rely on UNSPSC taxonomy alone.
