UNSPSC 85571905: Occlusion of lingula bronchus with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of lingula bronchus with intraluminal device, 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 0BL90DZ

UNSPSC 85571905, Occlusion of lingula bronchus with intraluminal device, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this code tag. Recent opportunities show that the code is being applied to occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and pension-disability medical evaluations—none of which involve bronchial occlusion procedures or surgical interventions. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or systematic misapplication of the code across issuing bodies. The recent solicitations instead reflect health plan administration, occupational medicine surveillance, and temporary staffing arrangements that fall outside the code's nominal scope as a medical procedure.

Because the code does not genuinely reflect the work being purchased, no meaningful market characterization can be drawn. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the 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) have all posted opportunities tagged with this code in the past two months, but those opportunities address occupational medical exams, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefits, and clinical staffing—procurement areas that warrant analysis under different UNSPSC classifications. Bidders should verify the correct commodity or family code for these service categories before pursuing opportunities currently listed under 85571905.
