UNSPSC 85572219: Occlusion of right upper lobe bronchus, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right upper lobe bronchus, percutaneous 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 0BL43ZZ

UNSPSC 85572219, Occlusion of right upper lobe bronchus, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local procurement activity documented in recent opportunities. The code's nominal scope—a specific medical procedure (bronchus occlusion via percutaneous approach)—bears no alignment with the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code identifier. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing placement. None of these solicitations request percutaneous bronchus occlusion services or related endoscopic/interventional procedures.

The mismatch between code and scope suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or use of an inappropriate UNSPSC identifier by issuing bodies. The Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California) have posted opportunities under this code, but their actual needs are administrative health services, benefits management, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing—none requiring the specific procedure named. Without evidence that state and local governments are soliciting percutaneous bronchus occlusion services, this code shows no relevant recent activity for business development purposes.
