UNSPSC 85571933: Insertion of endobronchial valve into left lower lobe bronchus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of endobronchial valve into left lower 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 0BHB0GZ

UNSPSC 85571933 Insertion of endobronchial valve into left lower lobe bronchus, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under or near this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve endobronchial valve insertion or cardiopulmonary procedures. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure) appears to be a taxonomy classification error or data-entry artifact; state and local governments do not solicit endobronchial valve insertion as a standalone line item in procurement notices.

The recent opportunities that carry this code tag reflect broader health services contracting by counties, cities, and special districts. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) is procuring surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) is sourcing occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is managing a pharmacy benefit RFP covering approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending; and Santa Clara County Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing. Geographic activity spans Washington, California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. No decision-relevant procurement signal attaches to this code as currently tagged; business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local contract pursuit unless a jurisdiction's internal taxonomy has repurposed it to describe health services work that substantively matches the recent notices.
