UNSPSC 85572462: Supplement right upper lobe bronchus with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right upper lobe bronchus with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0BU44KZ

UNSPSC 85572462 Supplement right upper lobe bronchus with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a highly specific surgical procedure—supplementing the right upper lobe bronchus with nonautologous tissue via endoscopic approach—yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve surgical implants, tissue substitutes, or bronchial procedures. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-outs for employee benefit plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these scopes align with the code's stated procedure or the supply-chain activity it names.

The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement suggests either tagging error by issuing bodies or that state and local procurement offices are using this Commodity code as a catch-all for miscellaneous medical services procurement rather than as a descriptor of orthotic or prosthetic supply activity. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify code alignment directly with issuing bodies during the RFQ or RFP intake phase rather than relying on the posted code designation. No state or local government is currently soliciting surgical bronchial tissue substitutes or related implantable devices under this code.
