UNSPSC 85573658: Destruction of right pleura, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0B5N3ZZ

UNSPSC 85573658 Destruction of right pleura, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the opportunities dataset. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code solicit medical administration, benefits management, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy management, and temporary clinical staffing services—none of which involve pleural destruction procedures. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error or that the code's application in state and local procurement systems diverges substantially from its clinical definition. State and local governments appear to use this code family inconsistently, or the opportunities are miscoded in the source system.

The recent activity shows solicitations from city pension offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county probation departments (Harris County), and county procurement divisions (Collier County). These issuing bodies are seeking contractor services in medical record review and disability determinations, surgical benefits network management, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit administration, emergency care for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing placement—all administrative or staffing functions rather than surgical procedures. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Response dates range from September 25, 2026 through April 9, 2026 (retroactively). Without evidence that this Commodity code is actually used to procure pleural destruction procedures or related surgical services from state and local governments, the code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for surgical practice.
