UNSPSC 85572258: Extirpation of matter from lingula bronchus, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from lingula 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 0BC93ZZ

UNSPSC 85572258, Extirpation of matter from lingula bronchus, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal surgical scope; the majority of activity involves non-surgical health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy management, and temporary staffing services. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county health procurement offices, and juvenile justice agencies—a broad mix of public-sector healthcare and benefits purchasers rather than providers performing the procedure itself. The code appears to function as a catch-all classification for various health-services procurement rather than as a targeted marker for the specific bronchoscopic procedure its name describes.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for fire and police pension applicants, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries division issued an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, requiring physician-led baseline and periodic examinations. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified-vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and surgical support. A single opportunity—Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026)—addresses emergency and specialty inpatient care, though no contract value, term, or evaluation criteria were disclosed. The code's recent activity suggests procurement bodies are using it as a general health-services classification rather than targeting the specific lingula-bronchus procedure, signaling potential taxonomy misalignment in state and local sourcing systems.
