UNSPSC 85572949: Extirpation of matter from left upper lung lobe, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left upper lung lobe, 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 0BCG8ZZ

UNSPSC 85572949, Extirpation of matter from left upper lung lobe via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure description. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which match the specific pulmonary endoscopic procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests either tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that this code is not currently used to solicit the clinical service it describes.

The six recent opportunities span issuing bodies including city retirement boards (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), and county benefits offices (Collier County). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant state concentration. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 five-year contract value; Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-pool RFP for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Because the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited diverge substantially, this code presents limited business development opportunity for vendors engaged in pulmonary endoscopic procedures or related clinical services.
