UNSPSC 85572965 Excision of lung lingula via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are currently procuring under this code. The recent solicitation activity tagged to this code spans occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit program management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve lung surgery or endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-quality issue in how opportunities are being coded or that this code is not the appropriate taxonomy marker for these health services procurements. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County Board of Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with the opportunities spanning worker health compliance, public-sector employee benefits administration, and detention healthcare.

The geographic distribution of recent activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope does not align with the opportunities being tagged to it, readers should verify coding accuracy with the issuing body before investing significant pursuit effort.
