UNSPSC 85573352: Reattachment of right middle lung lobe, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of right middle 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 0BMD0ZZ

UNSPSC 85573352 Reattachment of right middle lung lobe, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not involve reattachment surgery or pulmonary procedures at all. Instead, state and local bodies have used this code to solicit occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and specialty medical provider networks — none of which align with the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing offices or use of this code as a catch-all for medical services beyond its intended commodity definition.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems and human resources divisions, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). A business development professional should treat this code as misaligned with actual procurement intent and instead monitor the specific medical services codes or health-plan-administration codes corresponding to the work that is genuinely being bought.
