This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of left 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 0BM80ZZ

UNSPSC 85571860 Reattachment of left upper lobe bronchus, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities in the system show minimal alignment with this narrow clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-out benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing placement, pharmacy benefit management, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of health services actually being solicited suggests this code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems, or the tagging reflects a broader health services taxonomy than the code name indicates. State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems, municipal retirement offices, county human resources departments, county juvenile probation departments, and state transportation agencies with occupational health programs.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions with no geographic concentration. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services for ferries workers across 14 Washington locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested proposals under RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach issued HR26753 for surgical procedure carve-out benefit management (knee, hip, spine, heart, weight loss, oncology) through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System opened a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (audiology, radiology, gastroenterology, orthopedic, surgical, therapy services, and others excluding nursing and physicians), due October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department and Collier County also posted related health services solicitations in August 2026. The code shows activity but with no clear thematic focus under its stated surgical procedure definition.
