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 0BPL00Z

UNSPSC 85573326 Removal of drainage device from left lung, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the system. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it reflect healthcare administration and service delivery — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical removal of thoracic drainage devices. The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, and Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health department (San Mateo County), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica), but the opportunities they posted do not match the code's nominal scope.

The mismatch between code and opportunity content suggests either a cataloging error in the procurement system or that this code is not actively used for state and local healthcare procurement. The represented opportunities span Georgia, Florida, and California, and include RFPs for comprehensive inmate healthcare and pharmacy (Columbus Consolidated Government, May 2026), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County, due April 2026), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County, due April 2026), behavioral health peer support (San Mateo County, due July 2025), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica, due October 2025). A business development professional should treat this code as effectively inactive for state and local procurement purposes and verify correct UNSPSC assignment before pursuing opportunities found under it.
