UNSPSC 85572872: Removal of drainage device from left lung, via natural or artificial opening

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. 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 0BPL70Z

UNSPSC 85572872 Removal of drainage device from left lung, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve the medical procedure named in the code. Instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for detained youth—none of which align with thoracic surgical drainage procedures.

The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) is the only opportunity with a direct connection to physician-delivered medical services, but it addresses baseline and periodic occupational health examinations, not drainage device removal. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement databases or minimal actual demand for drainage procedure billing under this commodity classification in the state and local market. Vendors pursuing reimbursement-related medical codes or occupational health services may wish to monitor this code for data-quality corrections, but current activity offers no actionable procurement signals for thoracic surgery suppliers or procedure-related vendors.
