UNSPSC 85573723: Resection of bilateral lungs, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of bilateral lungs, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0BTM4ZZ

UNSPSC 85573723 Resection of bilateral lungs, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local government procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical services, medical device procurement, or procedural equipment. Instead, state and local buyers are posting notices for comprehensive health care administration services — inmate medical and pharmacy management, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and emergency medical director services. The mismatch between the code's technical surgical scope and the administrative or clinical management services actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding of health services opportunities or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health-related procurement despite its narrow procedural definition.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, and California, with no geographic concentration. The issuing bodies are county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 enrolled employees (closed April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), and the Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a physician medical director (closed October 16, 2025). No opportunities under this code appear to involve the procurement of surgical instruments, operating room equipment, or medical device supplies. A business development professional should treat this code as poorly suited to actual state and local health services procurement activity and confirm correct UNSPSC coding before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
