This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transplantation of lung lingula, zooplastic, 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 0BYH0Z2

UNSPSC 85573213 Transplantation of lung lingula, zooplastic, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving animal-derived lung tissue transplantation, yet the six recent opportunities tagged under it encompass independent medical evaluation services for pension-benefit disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention emergency and specialty medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve transplantation surgery or involve procuring the procedure itself as a deliverable. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure taxonomy and the opportunities actually being solicited suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or use of the code as a catch-all for broad health services categories unrelated to its specific procedural definition.

The recent opportunities do span multiple jurisdictions and issuing-body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Response dates cluster in early October 2026, with proposals due October 16 (Phoenix), October 7 (Long Beach and Santa Clara), October 9 (WSDOT), and September 25 (Harris County). Activity appears distributed across the Southwest, West, and South, with no standout repeat buyers. Given the substantial gap between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being procured, vendors should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before investing bid resources; the code itself does not reliably signal opportunities for lung transplant services or related surgical procurement in state and local government.
