UNSPSC 85573613: Extirpation of matter from right lower lung lobe, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right lower lung lobe, 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 0BCF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85573613, Extirpation of matter from right lower lung lobe, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure (percutaneous lung tissue removal), yet the sourced solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension-benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve the procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch indicates a tagging error in the underlying procurement system rather than legitimate activity in pulmonary surgical services at the state and local level.

The recent opportunities that do appear under this code reflect broader state and local healthcare procurement across multiple issuing bodies—city pension offices, municipal health systems, county transit authorities, county juvenile detention, county healthcare consortiums, and regional health systems in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. However, because none of these solicitations correspond to the Commodity code's stated scope, no decision-relevant market signal exists for the specific work the code nominally represents. Pursue only if your firm serves a niche in one of the broader healthcare categories appearing in the opportunities (occupational medicine, benefits administration, clinical staffing placement), and recognize that future opportunities under this code number should be validated against their actual scope before commitment.
