This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right main 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 0B537ZZ

UNSPSC 85571556 Destruction of right main bronchus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a highly specific surgical procedure — bears no relation to the state and local opportunities posted under it in the source. The recent solicitations are instead focused on medical administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary staffing placement, and surgical network carve-outs for employee health plans. None of these services involve destruction of a main bronchus or any procedure coded to that description. The mismatch indicates that this code has been misapplied to opportunities in the medical services and benefits administration space, or the code assignment does not reflect the actual scope being procured.

The source shows no active state and local opportunities that genuinely align with the Commodity code's stated scope. The Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) addresses disability medical evaluations; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covers occupational medical surveillance; Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County, and Harris County solicitations address pharmacy benefits, temporary staffing placement, surgical carve-out programs, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve the specific bronchial procedure the code purports to describe. This code should not be pursued for state and local work in its current application.
