UNSPSC 85573451: Drainage of right middle lung lobe, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right middle 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 0B9D0ZZ

UNSPSC 85573451 Drainage of right middle lung lobe, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a surgical procedure for draining a specific lung lobe—does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it, which involve independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These opportunities span employee health benefits administration, occupational health compliance, public safety pension medical evaluation, and clinical workforce support—none of which constitute surgical drainage procedures or operative orthopedic or thoracic services.

The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data classification error or use of this code as a catch-all for medical services in general. Issuers include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), city pension boards (City of Phoenix), and municipal health systems (City of Long Beach). The recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no pattern of repeat procurement under this specific code. Given the procedural mismatch, this code does not represent a viable procurement target for firms pursuing state and local contract work.
