UNSPSC 85572642 "Excision of right upper lobe bronchus, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities tagged under this code procure occupational medical surveillance, disability retirement medical evaluations, specialty surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities involve the bronchial surgical procedure the code's name specifies. State and local purchasing offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or as a catch-all for health services generally, rather than for the discrete clinical service the Commodity nomenclature denotes.

No active state and local procurement opportunities under this code involve the procurement of the surgical or procedural services that its UNSPSC designation describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms capable of delivering the specific endoscopic bronchus excision work the Commodity name indicates. Evaluating pursuit of opportunities tagged to this code requires verification that the issuing body's actual scope of work aligns with your firm's capabilities, as the tag itself provides minimal signal of the work being bought.
