UNSPSC 85572009: Drainage of right lower lobe bronchus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right 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 0B960ZZ

UNSPSC 85572009 Drainage of right lower lobe bronchus, open approach is a Commodity code tagged to a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little substantive alignment with the code's nominal medical scope. The sourced opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical roles. None of these activities involves drainage of a right lower lobe bronchus or any single surgical procedure; instead, they describe administrative medical services, network management, occupational health programs, and staffing coordination. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or erroneously to these opportunities, suggesting a taxonomy mismatch rather than genuine procurement activity under this Commodity classification.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting a typical state and local public-agency mix. Activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West—Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The most concrete recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's request for surgical benefit center-of-excellence networks (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code's defined procedure and the actual work being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors seeking opportunities aligned with the drainage procedure taxonomy entry.
