UNSPSC 85573605: Extirpation of matter from left pleura, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0BCP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85573605 Extirpation of matter from left pleura, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — removal of material from the left pleural space via percutaneous technique — yet the six recent opportunities in the source block solicit occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve pleural procedures or direct surgical interventions matching the code's technical scope. This mismatch suggests either a systematic coding error in how these opportunities were tagged or a database issue in the source material; the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its actual commodity definition.

The posted opportunities span multiple state and local jurisdictions including Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with response dates ranging from September through October 2026. Given the absence of opportunities that actually involve pleural extirpation services or related surgical procurement, this code does not represent an active or viable line of business for state and local vendors at this time. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities under this code designation.
