UNSPSC 85573420 Excision of bilateral lungs, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of surgical services or related medical procedures. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services (including medical intake screening, chronic care management, emergency services, and formulary development), pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. These opportunities reflect administrative healthcare contracting, employee health benefit management, and clinical oversight roles rather than procurement of the bilateral lung excision procedure named in the code itself. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual recent procurement activity.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, and Santa Mateo County in California), municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department in California), and county health departments. Recent solicitations span Georgia, Florida, and California. The most recent and substantive opportunity is Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, posted April 15, 2026 with proposals due May 15, 2026, with current monthly costs at $95,537.71 and contract terms of two years plus three optional one-year renewals. Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (posted April 9, 2026) based on historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. Monroe County issued an RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) covering approximately 2,300 county members. The code shows insufficient activity aligned to its stated surgical-procedure scope to support a meaningful procurement pursuit strategy.
