UNSPSC 85573726: Resection of left lower lung lobe, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left lower lung lobe, 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 0BTJ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85573726 Resection of left lower lung lobe, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six opportunities posted since July 2026 span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involves lung resection or percutaneous endoscopic surgery. The opportunities reflect health benefits administration, medical evaluation contracting, and clinical staffing, not surgical procedure delivery or surgical products.

State and local bodies posting under this code include a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a municipal government (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), a county juvenile probation authority (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Recent representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's RFP to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows activity across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, though the mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the actual scope of work being procured suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a structural misalignment in how this code is being applied to health services administration and staffing contracts.
