UNSPSC 85591600: Esophagus alimentary canal chest, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 25 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the esophagus or alimentary canal of the chest with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0D.

UNSPSC 85591600 Esophagus alimentary canal chest, percutaneous approach is a Class code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope—a medical procedure taxonomy entry—and the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to it. The code appears in six recent solicitations, but none of them solicit esophageal or gastrointestinal procedures. Instead, the tagged opportunities span independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical procedure carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The code's abstract definition does not align with the work actually being bought by state and local governments under this tag, and the recent opportunities represent a fragmented collection of health-system administration and workforce services rather than a coherent procurement category.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health-benefits administrators (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county public-safety systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, reflecting activity across multiple regions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (RTMRFP26001); the City of Long Beach surgical and medical procedure carve-out program RFP due October 7, 2026 (HR26753); and the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 (RFP20260825). This code does not meaningfully segment a single product or service line and carries little relevance to esophageal or percutaneous procedure procurement.
