UNSPSC 85592411: Resection of middle esophagus, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of middle esophagus, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0DT28ZZ

UNSPSC 85592411 (Resection of middle esophagus, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic), a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The recent opportunities show no direct procurement for esophageal surgical procedures; instead, the code carries solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks for bundled-care carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities involve the esophageal resection procedure the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of mislabeled opportunities under this code spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), reflecting a fragmented set of state and local health-system purchasing offices and retirement boards posting under an apparent taxonomy error. No concentrated pattern of relevant procurement activity for the stated procedure exists in the available state and local solicitations.
