UNSPSC 85573310: Repair left upper lung lobe, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left upper 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 0BQG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85573310 Repair left upper lung lobe, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes surgical repair procedures; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect surgical services. The opportunities posted show state and local governments soliciting healthcare administration, management services, and clinical support staffing — including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — rather than operative repair procedures. The issuing bodies span county governments, county health departments, and municipal fire departments across multiple states. The mismatch between the code's surgical descriptor and the actual work being procured suggests either miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catchall for healthcare service contracts that fall outside more precise taxonomy positions.

The most recent activity includes the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County Health's RFP for Peer Support for Peer Workers under MHSA Innovation funding at $580,000 total (due July 2, 2025), and the Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a Fire Department Medical Director (due October 16, 2025). Activity is concentrated in California and Florida, with additional procurement in Georgia and California. Given the taxonomy mismatch, the code shows limited relevance to firms pursuing surgical or operative healthcare contracts in the state and local market.
