UNSPSC 85573619: Excision of right pleura, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 0BBN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85573619 Excision of right pleura, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code solicited independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical care carve-out networks, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve excision of pleural tissue or surgical procedures performed under the code's narrow clinical definition. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement bodies are either misclassifying medical and health service contracting under this code or the code is being used as a catch-all for health service procurement outside its intended scope.

The issuing bodies span county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, reflecting fragmented health service procurement across multiple governance tiers. Absent a clear connection between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code does not present a reliable targeting vehicle for firms pursuing state and local medical or health service contracting.
