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 0BQK7ZZ

UNSPSC 85572834 Repair right lung, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code whose nominal medical-procedure title does not align with the recent state and local contract activity posted under it. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code procure occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which constitute surgical repair of the right lung. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems posting these opportunities or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the actual work being sourced.

The issuing bodies span diverse public entities: city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health plans (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). Recent opportunities posted between August 20 and September 16, 2026 show geographic activity in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington State. Because the code's stated scope does not match the procurements actually tagged to it, neither the work content nor the issuing-body and geographic patterns present a useful signal for business development under this code's nominal definition. Firms evaluating this code should verify their UNSPSC classification against the actual scope of services before treating these opportunities as representative of market activity.
