UNSPSC 85573351: Reattachment of right lower lung lobe, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of right lower 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 0BMF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85573351 Reattachment of right lower lung lobe, open approach (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefits carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve reattachment of lung lobes or pulmonary surgical procedures. State and local government is not procuring this specific clinical procedure as a commodity; instead, the opportunities represent broader health services contracting by county health systems, municipal employee benefit programs, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile justice departments.

The mismatch between code and scope suggests either systematic miscoding in the sourcing system or that UNSPSC 85573351 serves as a placeholder for miscellaneous healthcare services rather than the named procedure. No representative opportunity in the block addresses pulmonary or surgical reattachment services. Geographic activity spans Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix disability medical evaluations), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara health services), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Given the lack of alignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code shows little decision-relevant procurement activity for vendors offering lung reattachment or related thoracic surgical services.
