UNSPSC 85571762: Supplement right middle 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 middle 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 0BU50KZ

UNSPSC 85571762 Supplement right middle lobe bronchus with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows a marked mismatch between the code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure on the right middle lobe bronchus — and the work state and local governments are actually purchasing under it. Recent solicitations tagged with this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management services, and temporary clinical staffing placement. None of these solicitations involve bronchial surgery or tissue substitution of any kind. The code appears to be a data-entry or classification error in the state and local procurement system; the opportunities posted against it reflect general healthcare administration, employee benefits management, and occupational health services rather than any surgical intervention or procedure-specific work.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, seeking examinations for shipyard and deck crew across 14 ferry locations, and the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026, for disability record review and physician exam coordination on behalf of public safety pension boards. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single region. The code's recent posting history does not support meaningful pursuit guidance; the classification appears corrupted or applied to unrelated health services procurement by error rather than by intentional categorization of bronchial surgical work.
