This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair lung lingula, 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 0BQH7ZZ

UNSPSC 85572838 Repair lung lingula, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical repair services or pulmonary interventions; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either miscoding at the posting stage or that this code is not reliably used by state and local procurement offices for the work they are actually buying. The issuing bodies in the recent records include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting the typical diversity of state and local health and human services procurement. No single jurisdiction appears as a repeat buyer under this code in the recent sample.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The most concrete representative opportunities are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026, with cost-based scoring at 40 percent and capability factors at 60 percent), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually). The code shows recent activity but little coherence to its stated clinical definition; business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this number.
