UNSPSC 85572963 Excision of left lower lung lobe, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not align with purchasing surgical procedures themselves. Instead, the sourced solicitations reflect ancillary medical and health-system procurement — pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical-procedure carve-out benefit administration — none of which constitute the actual performance of the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a taxonomy assignment error in the underlying opportunity records or that state and local governments do not directly procure this surgical procedure as a line-item service.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies including county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), cities (Long Beach, Phoenix), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), with geographic concentration in California, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's October 7, 2026 qualification pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing represent the most recent posted work. None of these opportunities involve the direct procurement or referral of the surgical procedure named in the code, indicating that this code sees little or no actual matching state and local contracting activity.
