UNSPSC 85572800: Structures of the lungs and pleura, natural or artificial opening-part A

This class includes one or more of 23 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the lungs and pleura, natural or artificial opening. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0B.

UNSPSC 85572800 Structures of the lungs and pleura, natural or artificial opening-part A is a Class code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-device taxonomy scope and the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The recent opportunities reflect human healthcare services — occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation, surgical benefit administration, specialty staffing, and pharmacy benefit management — rather than medical devices or equipment related to pulmonary or pleural structures. The issuing-body mix includes state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and health systems. No vendor or repeat buyer emerges as dominant across the opportunities.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations statewide, due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety pension determinations, due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). The code exhibits little relevant recent procurement activity tied to its stated medical-device classification, suggesting either persistent source-level tagging misalignment or that acquisitions of pulmonary and pleural devices proceed under different code families at state and local jurisdictions.
