This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left main bronchus with extraluminal 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 0BL70CZ

UNSPSC 85571912 Occlusion of left main bronchus with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical-procedure scope and the actual state and local contract opportunities posted under it. Recent solicitations tagged with this code do not involve bronchial occlusion or surgical devices at all; instead, they cover a diverse range of occupational health, benefits administration, and medical staffing services entirely unrelated to the code's stated clinical descriptor.

The recent opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for retirement systems (City of Phoenix), surgery carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). Issuing bodies include state departments, county government, city procurement offices, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with maximum contract compensation of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services for ferries workers across 14 locations statewide (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), with cost-based scoring weighting pricing at 40 percent and non-cost factors at 60 percent. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, excluding nursing and physicians (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows active procurement activity but the underlying UNSPSC classification appears incorrectly assigned to these opportunities.
