UNSPSC 85572221: Occlusion of right upper lobe bronchus with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right upper lobe bronchus with extraluminal device, 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 0BL43CZ

UNSPSC 85572221 Occlusion of right upper lobe bronchus with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific interventional medical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's technical scope. The opportunities instead reflect a mismatch between the code assignment and the work actually being solicited: City of Phoenix is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations; City of Long Beach is requesting a surgical benefit carve-out program managing Centers of Excellence networks; Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is seeking pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties. None of these opportunities involve the specific bronchial occlusion procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span state departments, county governments, and municipal and health system purchasing offices across multiple regions.

The geographic spread of recent activity is fragmented across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, reflecting the diverse and dispersed nature of state and local healthcare procurement rather than concentrated demand for the code's nominal procedure. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the WSDOT occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's health professional staffing vendor qualification RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to these opportunities; no recent procurement under this code reflects the specific procedure named in its title.
