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

UNSPSC 85572877 Removal of infusion device from right lung, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no alignment with the medical procedure named in the code itself; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code appears to have been misapplied to broader healthcare administration and staffing procurements rather than to specific surgical procedures.

State and local issuing bodies using this code include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and county human resources divisions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQ HHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread reflects activity in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant jurisdictional concentration. The persistent mismatch between the code's name and the opportunities posted suggests this code may be used as a catch-all classification for healthcare administration and staffing work rather than for the specific surgical removal procedure the code nominally describes.
