This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from lung lingula, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0BCH8ZZ

UNSPSC 85572947 Extirpation of matter from lung lingula, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the most recently posted state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not align with that clinical definition. Instead, recent solicitations under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgery benefit carve-out programs for government employees, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve pulmonary endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests either broad misclassification by issuing bodies or a code-to-procurement mapping inconsistency in the underlying taxonomy application.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states and regions. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach (California) posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026; Collier County (Florida) posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) solicited a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. Given the misalignment between code scope and actual procurement activity, business development professionals should verify code accuracy with the issuing body before pursuing opportunities under this code.
