UNSPSC 85573538: Removal of monitoring device from left lung, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from left lung, percutaneous 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 0BPL32Z

UNSPSC 85573538 Removal of monitoring device from left lung, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a specific pulmonary procedure. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a categorization artifact within the state and local procurement system. The solicitations show that public bodies are buying health services administration, medical staffing and evaluation, and managed care coordination rather than medical device removal procedures.

The geographic spread includes Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies spanning county departments, state transportation agencies, city retirement offices, and county health systems. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical examination services for public safety pension boards (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 service categories (due October 7, 2026). No procurement activity under this code appears to involve device removal or invasive pulmonary procedures.
