UNSPSC 85592448 Removal of feeding device from stomach, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a mismatch: the source records include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty surgical networks for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations concern the removal of feeding devices, and none involve direct procurement of the clinical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local buyers do not appear to be purchasing this specific medical intervention through open competitive solicitation at the commodity code level.

The absence of on-point recent opportunities suggests this code does not represent active state and local procurement volume. When state and local health systems and counties purchase medical procedures or medical device-removal services, they typically do so through direct clinical contracting with hospital systems, physician groups, or integrated delivery networks rather than through public competitive solicitation at the individual procedure level. If your firm provides feeding-device-removal equipment, supplies, or clinical services, monitor this code for future activity, but current procurement signals are sparse.
