UNSPSC 85573423: Excision of left lower lung lobe, 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 0BBJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85573423 Excision of left lower lung lobe, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the kinds of healthcare services state and local governments actually procure. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect comprehensive healthcare service contracts, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, peer support services, and medical director appointments—none of which involve the specialized surgical intervention the code describes. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to opportunities where it does not belong, or the code is rarely used in state and local healthcare procurement.

The five most recent opportunities show issuing bodies across Florida, Georgia, and California (Collier County, Monroe County, Santa Monica Fire Department, Muscogee County Prison via Columbus Consolidated Government, and San Mateo County), with response dates ranging from July 2025 through May 2026. No clear pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration emerges from this small set. The opportunities span correctional healthcare contracting (Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services, RFP due May 15, 2026), county employee health plan administration (Collier County pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026; Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care, RFP due April 16, 2026), behavioral health innovation pilots (San Mateo County peer support for peer workers, RFP due July 2, 2025), and municipal EMS medical direction (Santa Monica Fire Department medical director, RFP due October 16, 2025). Given the absence of alignment between the code's surgical focus and the health services actually being solicited, this code does not warrant active pursuit under its nominal scope.
