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 0BCM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85573407, Extirpation of matter from bilateral lungs, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy entry. The recent solicitation records show no procurement activity aligned with surgical lung procedures or clinical extirpation services; instead, the opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support programming for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services.

The issuing bodies include county departments and special-purpose districts—Muscogee County Prison (Columbus Consolidated Government Finance Department), Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, and the Santa Monica Fire Department—representing a mix of local government health administration and public safety functions rather than a coherent service family. Geographic activity spans Florida (Collier, Monroe counties), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and Southern California (Santa Monica), with no discernible pattern suggesting state and local procurement concentration in surgical lung procedures. The representative recent opportunities include Muscogee County Prison's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code appears to be misaligned with actual procurement content, signaling either a taxonomy assignment error or discontinuity between the UNSPSC definition and the work being solicited under this entry.
