UNSPSC 85571960 Extirpation of matter from left main bronchus, open approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract clinical taxonomy—a specific pulmonary surgical procedure—does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification.

The most recent opportunities tagged to this code address independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational health surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary clinical staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve thoracic surgery, bronchial procedures, or operative interventions matching the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the source or a systemic tagging issue at the issuing bodies. Practitioners should verify the code's applicability before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
