UNSPSC 85572506: Resection of right middle lobe bronchus, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right middle lobe bronchus, 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 0BT54ZZ

UNSPSC 85572506 Resection of right middle lobe bronchus, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical-procedure nomenclature and the state and local procurement activity actually posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve the specific surgical procedure named; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs for public employees and retirees. The issuing bodies include county health systems, state transportation departments, county procurement offices, and city retirement boards across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. None of the recent solicitations involve resection of right middle lobe bronchus or percutaneous endoscopic surgical approaches.

The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual solicitation scope suggests that this UNSPSC code is being misapplied in state and local systems or that the procurement data has been incorrectly classified. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive qualified-vendor-pool RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). This code warrants caution; the clinical-procedure focus of its title does not match current state and local contracting patterns, and business development efforts should verify actual scope alignment before pursuing opportunities flagged under it.
