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 0BBC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85573428 Excision of right upper lung lobe, open approach is a Commodity code that nominal taxonomy frames as a surgical procedure, yet the most recent state and local opportunities show little relevant activity mapped to this code. The recent solicitations indexed under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—span healthcare administration, clinical services delivery, and behavioral health support, none of which align with surgical excision procedures. The code appears to have been misapplied to general healthcare procurement rather than orthopedic or thoracic surgical services, creating a taxonomy mismatch that limits the code's utility for vendors pursuing state and local opportunities in actual lung surgery supply or surgical procedure contracting.

State and local healthcare purchasing under this code shows no coherent pattern around the nominal surgical service. The issuing bodies span county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida) and special health districts (San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services; Santa Monica Fire Department), with no repeat procurement of surgical excision services or related surgical supplies. Geographic activity touches Florida, Georgia, and California, but reflects general healthcare contracting rather than thoracic surgery demand. Without recent opportunities that actually solicit surgical excision services, surgical equipment, or related implants, vendors evaluating this code should verify whether their target customers are tagging opportunities correctly before committing resources to track this classification.
