UNSPSC 85572836: Repair left lower lung lobe, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left lower lung lobe, 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 0BQJ7ZZ

UNSPSC 85572836 Repair left lower lung lobe, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that carries a surgical-procedure classification wholly unaligned with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag. Recent opportunities show no direct procurement for lung-lobe repair procedures; instead, state and local issuing bodies are using this code to solicit medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and employee health plan administration services—none of which involve surgical lung repair. The code appears to be a cataloging mismatch rather than an active procurement taxonomy for state and local health purchasing.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice agencies. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ (RFSQHHSQFY270052) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical ancillary categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees, with an April 9, 2026 deadline (already passed at the time of source creation). This code shows no recent state and local procurement activity for surgical lung-repair procedures and should not be pursued under its nominal scope.
