UNSPSC 85573881: Drainage of right upper lung lobe with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right upper lung lobe with drainage device, 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 0B9C40Z

UNSPSC 85573881 Drainage of right upper lung lobe with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedure nomenclature and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities attributed to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing placement, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and employee health plan administration — none of which describe thoracic surgical drainage procedures. State and local governments are not procuring the specific surgical service named in the code; the code appears to have been applied incorrectly to general health services and benefits administration solicitations.

The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county procurement offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city retirement and human resources departments (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington State ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code does not reflect meaningful procurement of the specific surgical procedure it nominally describes.
