UNSPSC 85534122: Dilation of esophageal vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of esophageal vein, open 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 06730ZZ

UNSPSC 85534122 Dilation of esophageal vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — a clinical intervention on venous tissue — but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span employee benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy management, medical staffing, disability pension evaluation, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these activities involve dilation of esophageal veins or related esophageal procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic tagging error or repurposing of a clinical code to capture broad healthcare and benefits contracting outside its intended scope.

State and local governments issuing under this code include cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP with approximately $8.7 million in annual historical spending (due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's actual procurement activity centers on health benefits administration, occupational compliance, and clinical staffing rather than the surgical esophageal procedure the code nominally describes.
