UNSPSC 85573539: Removal of radioactive element from left lung, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of radioactive element 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 0BPL31Z

UNSPSC 85573539 (Removal of radioactive element from left lung, percutaneous approach), a Commodity code, shows no alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a specific surgical procedure—percutaneous removal of radioactive material from lung tissue—but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect health benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. None of these solicitations involve radiological procedures, percutaneous interventions, or radioactive-element removal. The source presents a clear mismatch between the code's clinical taxonomy and the actual goods or services state and local governments are buying under the tag.

The recent opportunities originate from disparate issuing bodies—a city retirement office (Phoenix), a municipal health plan administrator (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation authority (Harris County), a county human resources consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara)—across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no repeat issuers or pattern of concentrated purchasing. No representative recent opportunity relates to the code's nominal scope. This code carries negligible decision relevance for business development in the state and local medical procurement space.
