UNSPSC 85572010: Drainage of right lower lobe bronchus with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right lower lobe bronchus with drainage device, 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 0B9600Z

UNSPSC 85572010 Drainage of right lower lobe bronchus with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the surgical drainage procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests the code is either miscoded in the state and local procurement system or serves as a catch-all placeholder for health-system and benefits-administration services that lack a more precise taxonomy alignment.

Issuing bodies are primarily county and municipal governments and regional health systems: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office on behalf of public safety pension boards, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (via Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent activity is concentrated in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's mismatch with the work actually being bought, pursuit should be evaluated on the specific opportunity's scope rather than any consistent activity pattern under this code.
