UNSPSC 85571910: Occlusion of left main bronchus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left main 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 0BL70ZZ

This UNSPSC Commodity code — 85571910, Occlusion of left main bronchus, open approach — describes a specific surgical procedure that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code shows no relevant recent state and local contract opportunities. The five most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care (Monroe County, Florida), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County, California), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica, California) — none of which involve the surgical procedure named in the code's definition. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that this code is not actively used for opportunities that state and local governments are currently soliciting.

State and local health plans, correctional health programs, and public safety agencies do procure medical services, pharmacy management, and clinical staffing, but those activities appear tagged to broader family and class codes that cover healthcare administration and professional services rather than this narrowly defined surgical procedure code. A business development professional evaluating procurement opportunity under this code should verify the tagging in their source system, as the recent activity does not reflect the surgical scope the code nominally describes.
