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 0B5M3ZZ

UNSPSC 85573659 Destruction of bilateral lungs, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical procedure scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code are actually soliciting occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and emergency medical services — none of which align with the code's stated procedural definition. This mismatch suggests either miscoding in the posting systems or that the code is being applied as a catch-all for medical services procurement rather than for a specific surgical procedure, which limits its utility as a reliable market indicator.

The issuing bodies represent a geographic and institutional mix spanning state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across fourteen ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026). Given the code's nominal scope, firms pursuing procurement under this code should verify actual work content against posted RFP language rather than relying on the UNSPSC descriptor.
