This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transplantation of right lung, 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 0BYK0Z0

UNSPSC 85573209 Transplantation of right lung, allogeneic, open approach is a Commodity code that shows significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code names a specific surgical procedure, yet recent solicitations posted under it include independent medical evaluation services for pension-board disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferries workers, specialty healthcare for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve lung transplantation or transplant surgery. The code does not reflect actual state and local purchasing patterns under this designation.

State and local activity posted under this code spans multiple issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal procurement on behalf of employee benefit programs (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year contract maximum and October 16, 2026 proposal deadline, the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026, the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFP for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, and Washington, with additional activity in Texas and Florida. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's name and the work being solicited, this code appears to carry data-quality issues and does not reliably indicate relevant procurement opportunity for firms pursuing contracts under this taxonomy.
