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 0B5F3ZZ

UNSPSC 85573665 Destruction of right lower lung lobe, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with a nominal scope in surgical procedures, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with its abstract medical descriptor. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, Centers of Excellence carve-out programs, temporary clinical staffing qualification pools, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve the specific pulmonary surgical intervention the code name suggests. The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, Long Beach). The code appears to have been misapplied across a broad range of healthcare administration and occupational medicine procurement rather than reserved for its intended scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Washington (occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (independent disability medical evaluations), California (temporary staffing qualification pool and surgical benefit carve-out), Texas (youth detention healthcare), and Florida (pharmacy benefit management). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a response deadline of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with a response deadline of October 7, 2026. The code shows no coherent procurement pattern and does not reliably predict the types of services state and local agencies are actually seeking under this designation.
