UNSPSC 85571849 Release lingula bronchus, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure (pulmonary resection), yet the recent opportunities posted under this code are instead purchasing inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which align with surgical procedure procurement or the open-approach pulmonary intervention the code describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that this code is being applied to healthcare services contracts without strict adherence to the surgical taxonomy. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county corrections authorities, county human resources and benefits divisions managing employee healthcare, county boards of commissioners overseeing public health programs, county behavioral health departments, and city fire departments. The geographic spread spans Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County/Columbus Consolidated Government), and California (San Mateo County, Santa Monica).

The most recent opportunities reveal no pattern of actual surgical-procedure procurement. The Columbus Consolidated Government issued RFP No. 26-0008 on April 15, 2026, for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), with a current annual medical-services cost of $1.15 million. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued RFP 25-8414 on April 9, 2026, for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical pharmacy spending of $8.7 million annually. Monroe County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP on March 14, 2026, for virtual primary care and 24/7 urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (proposals due April 16, 2026). San Mateo County Health's Behavioral Health and Recovery Services issued RFP No. 2025-007 for peer support services for peer workers, with $580,000 in total funding (proposals due July 2, 2025). The Santa Monica Fire Department issued an RFP for a medical director position (proposals due October 16, 2025). None of these solicitations involve surgical procedures or pulmonary-intervention procurement, suggesting this code should not be relied upon for identifying relevant state and local opportunities in surgical services.
