UNSPSC 85573850: Excision of left lower lung lobe, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 0BBJ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85573850 Excision of left lower lung lobe, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with procedural surgery billing or delivery. Instead, the code shows activity across medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve surgical excision or pulmonary procedures. The issuing bodies are diverse: Phoenix Retirement Office (pension board medical determinations), City of Long Beach (employee health benefits carve-out), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention healthcare), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing). The code's apparent mismatch with the actual solicitations suggests either miscoding at source or that state and local procurement offices are using this taxonomy entry as a general health services catch-all rather than a procedure-specific classifier. The work being solicited is administrative and vendor-management focused rather than clinical delivery of a named surgical intervention.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with examinations by board-certified occupational physicians, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing (ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physician services), due October 7, 2026, as a non-exclusive multiple-award pool with no guaranteed volume. Given the code's procedural name and the absence of surgical-delivery opportunities in the recent record, this code shows little relevant recent state and local activity for firms pursuing actual pulmonary surgical services or related procedures.
