UNSPSC 85572940 Extirpation of matter from bilateral lungs, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect extraction or pulmonary procedures; instead, they span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve extraction of matter from lungs or pulmonary procedures as the code nominally describes. The code shows a material mismatch between its nominal scope and the work state and local governments are actually procuring under the tag.

No representative state and local opportunities targeting extirpation of matter from bilateral lungs or related pulmonary extraction services appear in the recent solicitation record. The opportunities present — spanning Arizona public safety pension medical evaluations, Long Beach surgical carve-outs, Washington State Ferries occupational surveillance, Harris County juvenile detention medical services, Collier County pharmacy benefit management, and Santa Clara County temporary health professional staffing — do not reflect the medical procedure category the code nominally describes. Given the mismatch, contractors seeking this code as a pursue target should verify the actual commodity or service classification with the issuing jurisdiction before investing bid development resources.
