This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of lung lingula via natural or artificial opening drainage device, 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 0B9H70Z

UNSPSC 85573020 Drainage of lung lingula via natural or artificial opening drainage device, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific pulmonary drainage procedure—does not align with the six recent opportunities posted under this code identifier. Those solicitations span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferries workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these procurements involve lung lingula drainage devices or procedures.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is being misapplied as a catch-all for medical services more broadly. The opportunities themselves span state health systems, county human resources departments, municipal pension boards, and juvenile detention agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but they reflect administrative, staffing, and benefits-management needs rather than procurement of a specific medical drainage device or service. Firms pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the actual service or product specification in each RFP rather than relying on the UNSPSC code description.
