UNSPSC 85572942: Extirpation of matter from left lung, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0BCL7ZZ

UNSPSC 85572942 Extirpation of matter from left lung, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under this classification. The six recent solicitations tagged to this code span independent disability medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, surgical carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve extirpation procedures on the left lung or pulmonary surgery of any kind. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source level or that this UNSPSC code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for the medical and healthcare services they actually buy.

The issuing bodies in the posted opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems, but these opportunities appear to reflect broader medical management and healthcare staffing categories rather than procedures under this specific code. Given the absence of authentic pulmonary surgical procurement under UNSPSC 85572942, this code presents minimal practical opportunity for business development targeting state and local contracts.
