UNSPSC 85573257: Resection of right middle lung lobe, 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 0BTD0ZZ

UNSPSC 85573257 Resection of right middle lung lobe, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a clear mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—removal of lung tissue via open incision—but the recent opportunities tagged under it span jail and county healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care delivery, peer support services, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations procure or reference thoracic surgery procedures, surgical supplies for pulmonary resection, or related clinical interventions. The activity instead reflects state and local government purchases of comprehensive health services contracts and administrative functions for correctional facilities, county employees, and municipal departments.

The issuing bodies include a consolidated city government (Columbus, Georgia), two Florida county governments (Collier County and Monroe County), a California county behavioral health division (San Mateo County), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). Recent opportunities include an RFP from the Columbus Consolidated Government Finance Department Purchasing Division for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026); Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026); San Mateo County's RFP for peer support services for peer workers under a Mental Health Services Act Innovation pilot (due July 2, 2025); and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director (due October 16, 2025). The code shows recent activity in Georgia, Florida, California, and potentially elsewhere, but the solicitations are functionally unrelated to the code's stated clinical procedure. Vendors pursuing work under this code should verify actual procurement intent with issuing bodies before investing in proposal development, as the tagging appears to reflect administrative or system classification error rather than legitimate surgical-procedure procurement.
