This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage 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 0BPL30Z

UNSPSC 85573540 "Removal of drainage device from left lung, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local contract activity. The source records show six active opportunities posted between late July and mid-September 2026, spanning independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical and medical procedure carve-out programs, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which relate to pulmonary drainage device removal or any surgical procedure. The code appears to be a clinical procedure descriptor pulled from a medical taxonomy rather than a procurement classification, and state and local governments are not soliciting under it for goods or services.

The mismatch suggests the code was applied erroneously or captured from a source that conflates medical billing codes with UNSPSC procurement taxonomy. Recent activity in health care and human services procurement under state and local notices uses codes aligned with service delivery categories — such as occupational medicine surveillance, independent medical evaluation administration, pharmacy network management, and temporary staffing of clinical professionals — rather than specific procedural interventions. Pursue alternative UNSPSC families and classes within the Health Services and Social Services Segments if your firm supports state and local health systems and public-sector benefits administration.
