This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from right lung, open approach.

UNSPSC 85573328, Removal of monitoring device from right lung, open approach, is a Commodity code whose nominal clinical scope bears little relevance to recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code appears to classify a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities associated with it reflect administrative and occupational health services, not the surgical intervention the code name describes. State and local governments are actually buying medical record summarization for disability benefit determinations, occupational health surveillance programs, specialty medical care coordination for public employees and detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary clinical staffing across multiple health professional categories — none of which involves removal of monitoring devices from lungs or surgical procedures of that specificity.

The issuing bodies across recent solicitations include municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), city benefits and human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation and health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum compensation and October 16, 2026 response date; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with October 9, 2026 deadline and October 20, 2026 apparent successful bidder announcement; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code's tagging appears to be a data-classification mismatch rather than a reflection of actual procurement substance under this Commodity code.
