UNSPSC 85573637: Drainage of bilateral lungs, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of bilateral lungs, 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 0B9M3ZZ

UNSPSC 85573637 Drainage of bilateral lungs, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not map to meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure — percutaneous bilateral lung drainage — but the recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. These solicitations involve contracting for medical administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing services, not the performance of bilateral lung drainage procedures themselves. State and local governments do not commonly procure discrete surgical procedures through the UNSPSC taxonomy; they contract for medical services, staffing, and administration at higher code tiers. The tagging appears to reflect administrative or data-entry misalignment rather than genuine procurement of the procedure named in the code.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), a county juvenile probation department, and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting a mix of health administration, benefits management, and occupational safety functions. No repeat issuing body appears across multiple opportunities under this code, and no geographic concentration emerges—activities span Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The code shows little decision-relevant activity for vendors targeting state and local procurement under UNSPSC 85573637.
