UNSPSC 85571552: Destruction 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 destruction 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 0B557ZZ

UNSPSC 85571552 Destruction of right middle lobe bronchus, via natural or artificial opening (Commodity) shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on a particular anatomical structure—does not match the work being solicited under this classification in the recent-opportunities record.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 that carry this UNSPSC tag concern independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out program administration (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing pools (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve bronchial destruction or any procedure-specific surgical intervention. The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the administrative, occupational-health, and staffing services actually being procured suggests either a classification error in the procurement system or incidental application of the code to health-services management contracts that do not align with its intended scope. State and local buyers using this code should verify local taxonomy mapping before pursuing opportunities under it.
