This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left lung, 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 0BCL0ZZ

The UNSPSC code 85573408 Extirpation of matter from left lung, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities posted under it. The recent opportunities record shows no solicitations for surgical procedures or related clinical services matching this code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect healthcare administration, benefit management, virtual care delivery, peer support services, and medical direction for fire departments — none of which involve pulmonary surgery or extraction of matter from the thoracic cavity. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch suggests either a data classification error in how the opportunities were tagged or that this code does not reflect state and local government buying patterns in practice.

The five opportunities posted between February and April 2026 cover pharmacy benefit management at Collier County (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million historical annual pharmacy spend), inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison in Georgia (RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026, current monthly cost $95,537.71), virtual primary and urgent care services at Monroe County, Florida (RFP 628, due April 16, 2026), peer support services for peer workers in San Mateo County, California ($580,000 total funding), and a fire department medical director position in Santa Monica, California. None of these solicitations involve surgical procedures or pulmonary intervention. Issuing bodies span county boards of commissioners, county departments of health and human services, and municipal fire departments across Florida, Georgia, and California. The code does not generate procurement activity that business development professionals should actively pursue under its stated clinical definition.
