This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement lower esophagus with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0DU37JZ

UNSPSC 85592377 Supplement lower esophagus with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code in the medical services taxonomy. The recent opportunities posted under this code show no direct alignment with the nominal scope — state and local governments are not currently soliciting esophageal surgical procedures or synthetic medical devices. Instead, the six most recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve esophageal surgical interventions or synthetic esophageal substitutes. The code shows material mislabeling or miscoding against actual procurement activity.

Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with single opportunities in Texas and isolated state-level administrative jurisdictions. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications, while the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The City of Long Beach is seeking a surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal medical device scope and the actual health services and staffing activity posted under it, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for esophageal surgical products or services.
