UNSPSC 85571939: Insertion of endobronchial valve into right upper lobe bronchus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of endobronchial valve into right upper 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 0BH40GZ

UNSPSC 85571939 Insertion of endobronchial valve into right upper lobe bronchus, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve endobronchial valve insertion, bronchial procedures, or any respiratory-specific surgical intervention. The code's nominal scope—a specific minimally invasive pulmonary procedure—does not map to the medical administration, health plan design, occupational health screening, or temporary staffing services actually being purchased in these notices.

The mismatch between the code name and the work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that this specific procedure code is not actively procured through traditional state and local government contracting channels. Vendors specializing in endobronchial valve systems, respiratory device distribution, or related pulmonary interventions should not rely on this code as a guide to current state and local opportunity flow. A search across active RFP, RFQ, and IFB activity under related respiratory or surgical device codes may yield better signal for market entry or pursuit decisions.
