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 0BQJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85573308 Repair left lower lung lobe, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical repair work. Instead, the code shows activity in comprehensive healthcare service procurement, including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code span county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County, and San Mateo County), municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department), and county behavioral health agencies. The work being procured involves administrative and clinical healthcare delivery—eligibility management, claims processing, formulary development, provider network management, virtual care platform operation, and medical oversight—rather than surgical interventions.

Geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida (two separate county opportunities), and California. The most recent representative opportunities are the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (RFP, due May 15, 2026, at $95,537.71 monthly for the incumbent contract), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million (RFP, due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (RFP, due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP 455 for a fire department medical director (RFP, due October 16, 2025). The code appears to carry a misalignment between its surgical procedure title and the healthcare administrative and clinical services actually being procured; the recent opportunities provide no evidence of surgical repair work.
