UNSPSC 85571934 Insertion of endobronchial valve into lingula bronchus, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities show little direct alignment with this code. The opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefits carve-outs for government employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve endobronchial valve insertion. This mismatch suggests either coding error at the source or use of the code as a broad medical-services catchall by issuing bodies. The work actually being solicited under this code reflects state and local procurement of occupational health programs, benefits administration, and clinical staffing support rather than pulmonary intervention.

Recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefits carve-out for Anthem PPO, RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories, RFP due October 7, 2026). Activity is concentrated in the Southwest and Far West — Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington — with no clear pattern of geographic concentration or repeat buyer dominance. The code shows active recent procurement but lacks coherence to its stated Commodity definition.
