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 0BPLX2Z

UNSPSC 85573122 Removal of monitoring device from left lung, external approach is a Commodity code that does not map meaningfully to state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve no surgical procedures or pulmonary device removal. These solicitations span occupational health screening, disability medical record review, employee health plan administration, and clinical staffing, none of which align with the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or a systematic tagging problem within the state and local procurement systems that use this code.

The source contains no recent state and local opportunities genuinely soliciting pulmonary device removal or related surgical services under this code. No contract values, issuing bodies focused on surgical procurement, or geographic concentration patterns support activity in this specialty. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local business development purposes pending clarification of the source data.
