UNSPSC 85571747: Supplement left lower lobe bronchus with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left lower lobe bronchus with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0BUB0KZ

UNSPSC 85571747, Supplement left lower lobe bronchus with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with surgical implantation work. Instead, the opportunities solicited reflect broader health services procurement—independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve bronchial tissue supplementation or operative implantation. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the actual work state and local governments are purchasing under it. The issuing bodies span county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, and county commissioners' offices, indicating that health-related procurement under this code is distributed across multiple government function areas rather than concentrated in a single department type.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southwest and West Coast. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) serves ferry workers across 14 Washington locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP for public safety disability determinations (due October 16, 2026) involves approximately 75 annual disability applications; the City of Long Beach's surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit RFP (due October 7, 2026) covers approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (responses due September 25, 2026); Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026, already past the nominal deadline in the source) projected approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026) with no guaranteed work volume. The code shows little relevant recent activity when measured against its stated scope.
