UNSPSC 85573402: Extraction of right pleura, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of right pleura, 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 0BDN0ZZ

UNSPSC 85573402 Extraction of right pleura, open approach (Commodity) shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The five recent opportunities posted across the code show no instance of procurement for surgical extraction of pleura; instead, the opportunities reflect general healthcare administration and services procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy management, pharmacy benefit plan administration, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support worker services, and fire department medical direction — none of which constitute or require surgical pleural extraction as a line item or deliverable.

The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual buying activity suggests this Commodity code is either misapplied to state and local healthcare purchasing in practice, or the code sees minimal to no relevant solicitation activity. State and local procurement databases sometimes tag healthcare services or facility contracts with procedure codes that do not reflect the scope of work actually being bought. Without evidence of actual state and local solicitations for pleural extraction services — whether in clinical settings, ambulatory surgery centers, or correctional health facilities — the code presents no clear opportunity profile for business development purposes at this time.
