UNSPSC 85572879, Removal of radioactive element from right lung, via natural or artificial opening, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under or near this code—covering independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System)—are all administrative or operational healthcare services unrelated to radioactive-element removal or thoracic surgical pathology. The code's nominal scope does not align with state and local procurement patterns in the available record.

No state or local jurisdiction has posted a solicitation under this code for the procedure it nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's clinical specification and actual procurement activity suggests either sparse usage of this particular commodity classification or systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems. Business development professionals should verify directly with target jurisdictions whether they use this code, and consider whether broader healthcare-services codes at higher tiers (Family or Segment level) capture the actual work being bought in their markets.
