UNSPSC 85592424: Replacement of esophagus with autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of esophagus with autologous tissue 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 0DR577Z

UNSPSC 85592424 (Replacement of esophagus with autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening) is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve esophageal replacement procedures or surgical substitution services; instead, they address occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code's narrow clinical specification—a single, highly specialized surgical procedure—does not match the diverse administrative, preventive, and care-coordination services that municipalities, counties, and transit authorities are actively soliciting.

The geographic spread of tagged opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Washington State (WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, city employee benefits offices, county health systems, county probation departments, and state transportation agencies. The mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the actual scope of recent solicitations suggests either tagging error or that this code does not reflect genuine state and local procurement demand for esophageal reconstruction services. No representative opportunities directly address the procedure named in the code.
