UNSPSC 85571763 Supplement right middle lobe bronchus with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure, but state and local recent procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with that clinical scope. The six most-recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations for public-safety pension boards, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve bronchial surgery or synthetic implants. The issuing bodies are diverse: city retirement offices, county commissioners, state departments of transportation, county juvenile probation departments, county health systems, and municipal human resources divisions. No pattern of repeat buyers under this code is evident from the recent postings.

Geographic activity appears scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington State, and Texas, with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum posted September 16 with an October 16, 2026 deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825) for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations, with a pre-bid conference on August 31 and a due date of October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor-pool solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, posted July 7 with an October 7, 2026 due date. The code assignment to these opportunities appears to be a data error; the code's nominal scope bears no operational relationship to the work being solicited.
