UNSPSC 85573028: Drainage of right lower lung lobe via natural or artificial opening drainage device, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right lower lung lobe 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 0B9F70Z

UNSPSC 85573028 Drainage of right lower lung lobe via natural or artificial opening drainage device, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's medical-procedure nomenclature does not correspond to the services actually being solicited under this code in state and local markets.

Recent opportunities posted against this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, occupational health surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these services involve pulmonary drainage procedures or the specialized thoracic intervention the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), but the work is administrative healthcare management, benefits consulting, occupational medicine, and staffing coordination rather than clinical drainage procedures. Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, though the mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement scope suggests this code may be incorrectly tagged in the source system rather than genuinely active for the services being bought. No representative opportunities reflect the clinical scope the code describes.
