This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from left lung, 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 0BPL72Z

UNSPSC 85572870 Removal of monitoring device from left lung, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code represents a specific surgical procedure, but the opportunities posted under this code in the source material span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the removal of pulmonary monitoring devices. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or a technical error in how these opportunities were tagged to the UNSPSC taxonomy. The code shows no relevant recent activity.

State and local procurement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted opportunities tagged under this code, but the actual work being solicited—medical evaluations for pension-board disability determinations (City of Phoenix, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); pharmacy benefit administration (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP 25-8414); and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—bears no relation to pulmonary device removal. Business development professionals pursuing medical and health services work should verify the correct UNSPSC codes for these categories before targeting opportunities in this family.
