UNSPSC 85572021: Dilation of left lower lobe bronchus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left 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 0B7B0ZZ

UNSPSC 85572021 Dilation of left lower lobe bronchus, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code bear no relationship to surgical interventions or bronchial dilation. The opportunities logged against this code instead cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services—none of which involve bronchial procedures or surgical approaches. This represents a fundamental classification mismatch in the state and local procurement system. The code shows no recent activity that aligns with its stated scope.

The issuing bodies and opportunities in the block span diverse state and local jurisdictions: the Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) soliciting comprehensive inmate healthcare for a county prison via RFP due May 15, 2026; Collier County (Florida) procuring pharmacy benefit management services with a deadline of April 9, 2026; Monroe County (Florida) requesting virtual primary and urgent care services with proposals due April 16, 2026; San Mateo County (California) issuing an RFP for peer support services for mental health workers; and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California) seeking a medical director via RFP. The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California, with no concentration evident. Because the code's nominal definition does not match the work actually being solicited, this code does not represent a viable procurement focus. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any of these health services opportunities before pursuing them.
