UNSPSC 85573037: Destruction of bilateral lungs, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of bilateral lungs, 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 0B5M8ZZ

UNSPSC 85573037 Destruction of bilateral lungs via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The three opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026—independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical procedure carve-out benefits for health plan members (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System)—represent general medical administrative, occupational health, and healthcare staffing procurement rather than pulmonary surgical procedures or endoscopic interventions.

The mismatch suggests that UNSPSC 85573037 carries limited relevance to current state and local contracting activity. State agencies, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices are actively buying occupational health examinations, medical evaluation administration, pharmacy management, surgical network management, and temporary clinical staffing, but none of these opportunities involve the specialized surgical procedure described by the code's nominal scope. Bidders evaluating pursuit decisions under this code should treat it as dormant for state and local contracting purposes and focus instead on broader healthcare administration, occupational medicine, and staffing-pool Family and Class codes where the recent activity cluster actually resides.
