UNSPSC 85571936: Insertion of endobronchial valve into left main bronchus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of endobronchial valve into 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 0BH70GZ

UNSPSC 85571936 Insertion of endobronchial valve into left main bronchus, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure performed during an open respiratory intervention—does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code designation. Recent opportunities posted to this code address occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and temporary health professional staffing, none of which involve the endobronchial valve procedure named in the code.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state departments, counties, and municipal health systems: the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, the City of Phoenix, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the City of Long Beach, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity is distributed across Washington, Texas, Arizona, Florida, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications (proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 total maximum compensation over five years); and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code designation and the procurement activity it actually covers show a substantial mismatch, suggesting either a systematic tagging error or misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and state and local agency classification practice for medical and health services.
