UNSPSC 85573340: Release left upper lung lobe, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0BNG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85573340 Release left upper lung lobe, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code show minimal alignment with its abstract scope. The opportunities posted under this code actually solicit comprehensive healthcare and human services delivery — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees and retirees, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and medical director services for a fire department's EMS program. None of these opportunities involve thoracic surgery or the procedure named in the code; instead, they span preventive care, chronic disease management, pharmaceutical administration, mental health support, and emergency medical oversight. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source system or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services that do not fit more specific procurement categories. Issuing bodies include a county consolidated government (Columbus, Georgia), two Florida county boards of commissioners (Collier and Monroe), a California county health authority (San Mateo), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). The mix reflects primarily county-level healthcare procurement, with one municipal agency.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida and California, with one solicitation from Georgia. The Columbus Consolidated Government issued RFP No. 26-0008 on April 15, 2026, for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, requiring proposals by May 15, 2026, with current monthly costs of $95,537.71 and an incumbent provider identified as CorrectHealth Companies LLC. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services on April 9, 2026, covering approximately 7,200 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million and administrative evaluation by Willis Tower Watson. Monroe County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP on March 14, 2026, for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members, with proposals due April 16, 2026, and implementation anticipated for October 1, 2026. San Mateo County Health's Behavioral Health and Recovery Services posted RFP No. 2025-007 on February 25, 2026, for a $580,000 MHSA Innovation pilot project providing peer support services to peer workers. The Santa Monica Fire Department issued RFP 455 for a Fire Department Medical Director, with proposals due October 16, 2025. This code shows recent activity but displays a fundamental mismatch between its surgical-procedure nomenclature and the healthcare administration and service-delivery work state and local governments are actually buying under it.
