This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right middle 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 0B9D4ZZ

UNSPSC 85573878 Drainage of right middle 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 clinical procedure, yet the source shows no solicitations for percutaneous lung drainage or related surgical interventions. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span administrative health services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the procedure named in the code. State and local procurement offices appear to have misaligned these opportunities with the UNSPSC taxonomy, either through data-entry error or classification drift that does not reflect the work actually being solicited.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices, city employee benefits programs, county health systems, and state transportation agencies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out administration due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. These solicitations reflect genuine procurement activity in occupational health, benefits administration, and clinical staffing, but they bear no substantive relationship to the code's stated scope. Pursuit of opportunities under this code should be deferred pending clarification of the UNSPSC classification.
