UNSPSC 85573729: Resection of right lower lung lobe, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right 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 0BTF4ZZ

UNSPSC 85573729 Resection of right lower lung lobe, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — removal of the right lower lung lobe using a minimally invasive endoscopic technique — but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluation, employee health plan surgery carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. These solicitations address governance, administration, and sourcing of healthcare services rather than performance of the specific procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is used as a catch-all for health-services procurement broadly rather than for surgical-procedure-specific contracting.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). The issuing-body mix includes county governments, cities, county health systems, and state departments. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 (contract maximum $750,000 over five years commencing February 2027); the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and pre-bid conference August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows little decision-relevant activity aligned with its nominal scope.
