UNSPSC 85572264: Extirpation of matter from right main bronchus, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right main 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 0BC33ZZ

UNSPSC 85572264 Extirpation of matter from right main bronchus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little substantive connection to the code's nominal medical procedure scope. The opportunities instead span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involves bronchial extirpation or percutaneous procedures. This suggests either a systematic miscoding issue in the procurement systems posting these opportunities or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for broader medical services procurement that does not align with the code's clinical definition. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county health systems, county pension boards, and county human resources divisions, indicating fragmentation across health administration and benefits management rather than specialized procedural services.

The recent opportunities span Washington State (occupational medical surveillance through WSDOT), Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Board disability evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical benefits carve-out and Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County juvenile detention medical services). The Washington State Ferries RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with a two-year initial term and optional extensions. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks disability medical evaluation services including record review and independent physician examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000 commencing February 3, 2027. Given the mismatch between the code's procedural definition and the actual work being solicited, business development professionals should treat this code as a watch category pending clarification of how state and local procurement systems are assigning medical services to this particular taxonomy designation.
