This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right lower lung lobe with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85573877, Drainage of right lower lung lobe with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 that carry this tag are actually soliciting health plan administration, occupational medicine, disability medical evaluations, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's stated scope of a particular thoracic drainage procedure.

The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or use of medical procedure codes as administrative proxies within these state and local procurement systems. State and local issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code have included the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but no pattern emerges that would support procurement strategy under the code's stated clinical definition. Practitioners should verify correct code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this Commodity.
