UNSPSC 85573203: Transplantation of bilateral lungs, allogeneic, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transplantation of bilateral lungs, allogeneic, open approach. 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 0BYM0Z0

UNSPSC 85573203 Transplantation of bilateral lungs, allogeneic, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, specialty surgical networks for Centers of Excellence, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations cover medical administration, benefits management, staffing coordination, and non-transplant clinical evaluation services—none of which involve lung transplantation procedures or organ transplantation of any kind. The mismatch suggests the code is either mislabeled in the underlying procurement systems or applied inconsistently across state and local issuers.

Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with activity concentrated in Arizona, Florida, California, Texas, and Washington. The geographic distribution is diffuse, with no standout repeat buyer under this specific code. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and Santa Clara County Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool across 13 clinical specialties. The code shows limited decision-relevance for transplant-focused vendors and warrants clarification with procurement offices before pursuit.
