UNSPSC 85573251: Resection of left lung, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left lung, 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 0BTL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85573251 Resection of left lung, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no relevance to current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for removing lung tissue, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span correctional-facility medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care platforms, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve surgical resection or pulmonary procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or systematic misapplication of the code within the jurisdictions posting these opportunities.

No recent opportunities in the source material actually solicit surgical services, medical devices, or clinical supplies related to lung resection or thoracic surgery. State and local procurement offices typically issue RFPs and RFQs for surgical services through healthcare purchasing cooperatives or as components of broader medical services contracts, but those opportunities would not appear under a Commodity code intended for a specific surgical procedure. Practitioners evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local business development purposes and focus on the actual medical and healthcare management RFPs circulating through Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica (California) — none of which correspond to the nominal scope of this UNSPSC category.
