UNSPSC 85573418: Excision of left pleura, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left 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 0BBP0ZZ

UNSPSC 85573418 Excision of left pleura, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it show no alignment with surgical procedures or medical excision services. Instead, the posted solicitations across Florida, Georgia, and California comprise comprehensive healthcare management services — inmate medical and pharmacy programs, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the actual work being procured suggests this code receives limited or misapplied tagging in state and local procurement systems and does not reflect meaningful activity in surgical or procedural healthcare services at the state or local level.

State and local issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictions — Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica (California) — are sourcing healthcare administration and medical direction rather than surgical services. Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (due May 15, 2026) for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, Collier County's RFP 25-8414 (posted April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 plan members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million, and Monroe County's RFP (due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services covering approximately 2,300 county members. The geographic spread spans the Southeast, Florida, and California, but the code itself appears inactive for its stated commodity purpose and should not be relied upon as an indicator of surgical-services procurement at the state or local level.
