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 06530ZZ

UNSPSC 85534124 Destruction of esophageal vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local government procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—a surgical procedure for a single anatomical target—does not match the scope of work captured in recent state and local opportunities posted under this designation. The most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code are requesting occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, and surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee health plans. None of these opportunities involve esophageal vein destruction or open surgical approaches. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification unsuitable for typical state and local procurement categories, which focus on healthcare services administration, vendor contracting, and employee benefit management rather than specific procedural interventions.

Recent opportunities posted under this code originate from state health systems, county benefits administration offices, and city retirement authorities across multiple states. The Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries) solicited occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services with a deadline of October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach requested surgical benefit carve-out program proposals due October 7, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026. Collier County (Florida) issued an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services. This code does not reflect meaningful state and local procurement activity in its nominal scope.
