UNSPSC 85572550: Occlusion of left lower lobe bronchus with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left lower lobe bronchus with extraluminal device, 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 0BLB4CZ

UNSPSC 85572550, Occlusion of left lower lobe bronchus with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific bronchial occlusion procedure performed on individual patients in a clinical setting. The recent solicitations tagged under this code instead procure occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve bronchial occlusion devices or percutaneous endoscopic interventions. The mismatch appears to reflect a tagging error in the source material rather than actual state and local purchasing under the code's nominal clinical scope.

State and local procurement bodies issuing notices under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — a mix of municipal and county procurement offices and health system operators across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent opportunities range from medical record summarization for pension disability determinations (Phoenix RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry terminals (WSDOT RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) to pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County RFP 25-8414, with a submission deadline that has already passed). The diversity of issuing bodies and geographic spread suggests the code taxonomy itself requires review, as the recent contract opportunities do not substantively share clinical or procedural common ground with the code's stated definition.
