UNSPSC 85573626 Excision of right lower lung lobe, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting. Recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary clinical staffing pools, and specialty hospital services for youth in detention — none of which involve pulmonary surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that the code serves as a placeholder for broader healthcare procurement that extends far beyond its nominal surgical scope. State and local buyers placing work under this code include municipal retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation authorities, and county human resources divisions.

Recent activity appears in Arizona, California, Washington State, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for public safety personnel, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (due October 7, 2026) covering knee, hip, spine, heart, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 covered lives. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, solicited occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026) with physician-supervised examinations across 14 ferry locations. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted a Request for Information seeking hospital and specialty medical providers for emergency and inpatient care for detained youth (due September 25, 2026). The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled members with an estimated annual drug spend of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026). Given the taxonomy mismatch and the diversity of unrelated health-service categories, this code warrants careful verification before pursuit — confirm with the issuing body that the specific work aligns with your firm's capability before investing in response.
