This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from left lung, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic.

UNSPSC 85572868 "Removal of drainage device from left lung, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic" is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve thoracic endoscopic procedures. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement system or use of the code as a catch-all for health services that does not reflect the code's intended scope.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities represent a mix of state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and county health systems. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability pension benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications at $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) covering 13 ancillary clinical service categories on a non-exclusive, work-as-needed basis. The code shows no recent activity aligned with thoracic or other surgical procedures.
