This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right middle lung lobe, via natural or artificial opening.

UNSPSC 85572954 Extirpation of matter from right middle lung lobe, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contracting activity appearing in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a specific anatomical site, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve pulmonary extirpation. State and local procurement systems occasionally misapply medical procedure codes to broader health service categories; the mismatch here is substantial enough that this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing contracts tied to the code's stated scope.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span diverse issuing bodies — county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and city health benefits programs (City of Long Beach) — none of which are sourcing the specific surgical procedure named in the code. Geographic spread includes California, Florida, Arizona, Washington, and Texas, reflecting the nationwide distribution of general health service procurement. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's request for a surgical carve-out benefit program managing knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). The code as applied does not support meaningful market assessment for firms offering pulmonary surgical services to state and local government.
