UNSPSC 85571759: Supplement right 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 right 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 0BU60KZ

UNSPSC 85571759 Supplement right lower lobe bronchus with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this designation. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving tissue supplementation of the lower right lobe bronchus; however, the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve bronchial tissue supplementation or the anatomically specific surgical intervention the code names. The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual work being solicited reflects either a classification error in the state or local procurement systems or a fundamental divergence between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the categories these jurisdictions use operationally for healthcare and administrative services.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include a city pension board (Phoenix), a county government (Collier County, Harris County), a city health system (Long Beach, Santa Clara County Health System), and a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with an October 16, 2026 due date (supporting approximately 75 annual disability determinations at $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with an October 9, 2026 due date, and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 due date. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical-procedure scope.
