UNSPSC 85592549: Insertion of feeding device into stomach, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of feeding device into 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 0DH67UZ

UNSPSC 85592549 Insertion of feeding device into stomach, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve insertion of feeding devices or related gastroenterology instrumentation. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source tagging or that the code is not actively used for its stated clinical purpose in state and local procurement.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), municipal systems (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). No clear geographic concentration emerges from the six recent postings: opportunities are scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Given the absence of feeding-device procurement or related gastroenterology supply contracts in the recent record and the misalignment between the code's clinical definition and actual posted work, this code warrants a skip unless your target market has specific clinical-supply relationships with state or local health systems that might source under it — a signal the recent public opportunities do not support.
