This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of radioactive element from left lung, open approach.

UNSPSC 85573325, Removal of radioactive element from left lung, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out network management, and pediatric emergency services — none of which align with radioactive element removal surgery. This mismatch indicates either a data-tagging error in the underlying procurement records or a miscoding in the source system that assigns medical and health-services solicitations to this clinical procedure code.

The issuing bodies across the posted opportunities include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county commissioners (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix). Geographic activity appears across Washington, California, Florida, Texas, and Arizona. No solicitations in the source directly solicit removal of radioactive elements or related clinical oncology or nuclear medicine services. Businesses pursuing work under this code should verify whether their target jurisdictions are using it correctly and clarify the actual scope before committing resources to bid qualification or response infrastructure.
