UNSPSC 85572309: Drainage of right lower lobe bronchus, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right lower 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 0B963ZZ

UNSPSC 85572309 Drainage of right lower lobe bronchus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal name does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities posted under this code show no relationship to the clinical procedure named in the code title; instead, issuing bodies are requesting independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and specialty healthcare services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure descriptor and actual procurement activity suggests either a classification anomaly or misapplication of the code by issuing agencies. The work being tagged under this code spans occupational health examinations, disability medical record review and summarization, benefits administration, and provider network management—none of which align with percutaneous drainage procedures.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies: a city retirement office (Phoenix), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County), with no single jurisdiction posting repeatedly. Geographic activity spans Arizona, Washington, Texas, Florida, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services (RFP, due October 16, 2026) with a $750,000 five-year contract ceiling, the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 state ferry locations (RFP, due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's stated procedure and the heterogeneous medical services actually being purchased, this code appears misapplied; pursuit should be conditioned on direct verification that the specific opportunity aligns with your firm's service capability.
