UNSPSC 85572922: Inspection of pleura, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of pleura, 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 0BJQ7ZZ

UNSPSC 85572922 Inspection of pleura, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific medical diagnostic procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader occupational health examinations, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and specialty surgery carve-outs — work that falls substantially outside the pleura inspection scope. State and local buyers are not soliciting pleural inspection services under this code in the recent record.

The one opportunity with some procedural alignment — the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) — calls for comprehensive baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations across Washington State ferries locations, with exams conducted by occupational medicine–board-certified physicians. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth, and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing. None of these directly procure pleural inspections. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought suggests the code assignment is administrative or erroneous rather than a signal of active procurement demand in this specific diagnostic category.
