UNSPSC 85573013: Drainage of left lower lung lobe, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left lower 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 0B9J8ZZ

UNSPSC 85573013 Drainage of left lower lung lobe, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical drainage procedure, yet the state and local opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency inpatient care for detained youth — none of which align with the procedure named in the code's descriptor. The mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the actual procurement activity suggests either categorical miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services categories that lack more precise commodity alignment.

Activity appears across multiple states and issuing-body types: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, RFP due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical Centers of Excellence networks, RFP due October 7, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing qualifications, RFP due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, RFP due April 9, 2026). These opportunities span state departments, county governments, cities, and special-purpose health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration. The disconnect between the code's surgical descriptor and the health services opportunities attached to it suggests this code may not be a reliable signal for procurement targeting in this category.
