This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of left pleura, 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 0BDP4ZZ

UNSPSC 85573828 Extraction of left pleura, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's technical medical-procedure name does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which involve pleural extraction or any surgical procedure coding. The Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026) calls for baseline and periodic examinations by occupational-medicine-board-certified physicians across 14 ferry system locations, while the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services solicitation (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) seeks disability benefit record summarization and examination coordination for approximately 75 annual public safety retirement applications under a five-year, $750,000 contract. The County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across thirteen categories, with multiple awards possible and no guaranteed volume. These solicitations indicate state and local demand for occupational health program administration, pension and benefits medical support, and temporary clinical staffing—administrative and staffing functions rather than procedural surgery. The mismatch between code and opportunity suggests either a cataloging error or that this code does not reflect current state and local purchasing patterns in its intended domain.
