UNSPSC 85571718: Restriction of left lower lobe bronchus with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left lower lobe bronchus with intraluminal device, open approach. 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 0BVB0DZ

UNSPSC 85571718 Restriction of left lower lobe bronchus with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure involving bronchial restriction; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with that clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect a broad range of health services procurement activity including independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. This mismatch indicates that the code's nominal definition does not match what state and local buyers are actually soliciting under it, and the code shows little relevant activity for vendors pursuing work in bronchial restriction procedures or similar interventional medicine services.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies—city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach), state departments of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County)—and geographic spread across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative active solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional extensions), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work). The code's recent activity reflects purchasing of administrative health services, staffing, and benefit management rather than procedural interventions, suggesting either a classification error in the source data or a code that has drifted from its original clinical definition into broader health administration services.
