UNSPSC 85571748 Supplement left lower lobe bronchus with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure code — bears no relation to the state and local procurement activity recorded under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve medical services procurement for county correctional facilities, county and county-wide employee health plans, and municipal fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical intervention or implantation of synthetic bronchus substitutes. The mismatch indicates that this code has been assigned to opportunities it does not substantively describe, and the code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The recent opportunities instead reflect state and local health plan administration, occupational health services, and emergency medical services oversight. Issuing bodies include the Columbus Consolidated Government's Purchasing Division (Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (California), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California). Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Florida and California, with isolated activity in Georgia. Representative recent solicitations include Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services (Columbus Consolidated Government RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026 with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spending), Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care services (RFP due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica Fire Department medical director services (RFP posted September 25, 2025, due October 16, 2025). The code's application to these health services procurements appears to be a data-entry or classification error rather than intentional use of a surgical procedure code for administrative healthcare contracting.
