UNSPSC 85573007: Drainage of left lung, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left lung, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0B9L7ZZ

UNSPSC 85573007 Drainage of left lung, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that appears misaligned with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitation activity does not reflect drainage or surgical procedures on the lungs; instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source system or that the code is being applied as a catch-all for clinical and administrative healthcare services rather than the specific thoracic drainage procedure its name denotes. State and local procurement offices posting under this code include county health systems, municipal pension boards, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, county human resources divisions, and special-purpose health consortia.

The issuing bodies span diverse geographies and organizational types. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of the Washington State Ferries) posted an occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations in Washington State. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent disability medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026. The City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks due October 7, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical and diagnostic categories due October 7, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with a historical spend of approximately $8.7 million annually. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026. The code shows no recent activity clearly aligned with thoracic drainage procedures and warrants review for cataloging accuracy.
