This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right middle lung lobe, 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 0B9D7ZZ

UNSPSC 85573031 Drainage of right middle lung lobe, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local contract opportunities show little activity aligned with this clinical service code. The posted opportunities instead reflect procurement in adjacent health administration and occupational medicine domains — disability medical evaluation coordination, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and occupational medical surveillance — rather than direct procurement of the drainage procedure itself. State and local governments do not typically solicit surgical procedures as discrete line-item purchases; the code appears to reflect clinical taxonomy used within healthcare provider systems rather than a purchasing category active in the state and local procurement market.

The six most recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, covering city retirement offices, municipal employee health benefits administration, state transportation agencies, county juvenile detention systems, and county health consortia. None of the opportunities directly purchase drainage-of-lobe procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP, October 16, 2026 deadline); the City of Long Beach procured surgical procedure carve-out benefit networks for municipal employees, including spine and orthopedic procedures (RFP, October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP, October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI, September 25, 2026); Collier County procured pharmacy benefit management covering approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending (RFP, April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQ, October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent state and local procurement activity for the specific procedure it names.
