UNSPSC 85592451: Removal of intraluminal device from stomach, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of intraluminal device from stomach, 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 0DP67DZ

UNSPSC 85592451 Removal of intraluminal device from stomach, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little relevance to the nominal medical procedure scope. The most recent postings—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-outs and Centers of Excellence networks (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System)—represent broader healthcare administration, occupational health compliance, benefits management, and clinical staffing procurement rather than gastroenterological or endoscopic device-removal services. The code does not appear to track actual intraluminal gastric device removal work being solicited by state and local governments.

The mismatch between the code's technical medical designation and the opportunities posted under it suggests either a cataloging error in how the opportunities were tagged or a systematic gap in how this specific procedural code is used in state and local procurement. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit endoscopic equipment, gastroenterology devices, or procedure-specific clinical services aligned with the code's definition. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether state and local agencies actually procure gastroenterological device services through this UNSPSC designation or whether the code remains dormant in state and local spend, with health systems and municipalities acquiring such services through different classification pathways or bundled clinical contracts.
