UNSPSC 85572830: Repair bilateral lungs, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair bilateral lungs, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0BQM7ZZ

UNSPSC 85572830 Repair bilateral lungs, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under its classification. The code's nominal scope describes a clinical procedure—surgical repair of bilateral lungs—but the opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-outs, and emergency youth detention healthcare. None of these solicitations involve lung repair or surgical repair services directed at patients. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state and local procurement system or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services administration rather than reflecting the discrete clinical work the code name implies.

The recent opportunities do reflect a fragmented issuing body mix across state departments, county health systems, cities, and special-purpose districts. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited disability medical record summary and examination coordination services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing qualifications across multiple ancillary categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. The lack of alignment between the code's stated clinical scope and actual procurement activity suggests this Commodity code shows little decision-relevant recent activity for firms pursuing lung repair or surgical repair contracts.
