UNSPSC 85573601: Extraction of left pleura, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of left pleura, 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 0BDP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85573601 Extraction of left pleura, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it in state and local systems. The six most recent opportunities span independent disability medical evaluations for pension boards, surgical benefits carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state transportation ferries, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations describe extraction of left pleura or percutaneous thoracic procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that this Commodity code is rarely used for actual product and service procurement at the state and local level.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation authorities, county juvenile probation departments, county procurement divisions, and county health systems—a broad institutional mix. Geographically, recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (state ferries), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The absence of any recent solicitations for actual pleural extraction procedures or thoracic surgical services suggests this code may warrant deprioritization in business development targeting unless your firm has specific visibility into a pending state or local RFP for surgical or procedural services that will be properly coded.
