UNSPSC 85573218: Transplantation of left upper lung lobe, allogeneic, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transplantation of left upper lung lobe, 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 0BYG0Z0

UNSPSC 85573218 Transplantation of left upper lung lobe, allogeneic, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure name and the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code instead reflect medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing services — none of which involve lung transplantation or surgical procedures of that specificity. This mismatch suggests either a data classification error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities or that the code itself is being used as a default placeholder for broader healthcare services procurement rather than a discrete surgical intervention.

The issuing bodies include a municipal pension fund (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), a city government employee benefits office (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), a county human resources division (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara Health System). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code does not reflect genuine recent procurement activity for lung transplantation or related allograft surgery services at the state and local level.
