UNSPSC 85571827: Repair right upper lobe bronchus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right upper lobe bronchus, 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 0BQ40ZZ

UNSPSC 85571827 Repair right upper lobe bronchus, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical services at all. Instead, the four most recent solicitations posted between February and April 2026 encompass inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve bronchial repair or operative intervention. The code appears to have been misapplied to these opportunities; state and local procurement systems occasionally tag healthcare contracts with clinical procedure codes when administrative taxonomy mappings diverge from actual scope. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code shows little relevant recent activity for surgical services procurement at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies include county government purchasing offices (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; Santa Mateo County, California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California), reflecting a mix of county health administration, benefits management, and emergency services. Geographic activity spans Florida (two opportunities), Georgia, California, and appears sporadic rather than concentrated. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, due May 15, 2026, with current monthly costs of $95,537.71; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members, with historical annual spending around $8.7 million, due April 9, 2026; and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members, due April 16, 2026. Because the code label does not align with the actual procurement activity, pursuit decisions should rely on direct opportunity tracking rather than this code as a reliable filter for relevant healthcare work.
