This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from middle esophagus, 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 0DC27ZZ

UNSPSC 85592612 Extirpation of matter from middle esophagus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows a sharp mismatch between its nominal scope and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this tag. The recent solicitations posted under this code have no connection to esophageal procedures or extirpation. Instead, state and local buyers are using this code—apparently in error—to tag opportunities for independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. The work being solicited spans administrative health program support, workforce medical surveillance, healthcare network management, and staffing coordination—none of which align with the code's nominal procedural definition. Because the code itself does not match the actual procurement activity tagged under it, no meaningful market analysis is possible at this Commodity level.

The recent opportunities posted under this code originate from Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), with response dates ranging from September 25, 2026 through October 16, 2026. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, county health systems, state transportation authorities, and county probation departments. The mismatch between code and scope suggests that either the state and local procurement offices have misclassified these opportunities in the UNSPSC taxonomy, or the code itself has been applied to a broader healthcare administration category than its name indicates. Vendors evaluating activity under this code should verify the actual scope of work directly from the solicitation notice rather than relying on the code definition.
