UNSPSC 85592622: Excision of esophagus, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0DB57ZZ

UNSPSC 85592622 Excision of esophagus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not purchase surgical excision services. Instead, issuing bodies are procuring medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical networks, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which constitute esophageal surgery or its related procedural supplies. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual scope of recent opportunities suggests that either the code is being applied incorrectly by procurement offices or the taxonomy does not reflect how state and local health systems categorize their medical contracting activity.

No representative recent opportunities directly procure esophageal excision services or related surgical procedure supplies under this code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) is procuring a surgical carve-out benefit program that includes orthopedic, cardiac, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence networks; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) is purchasing occupational medical surveillance; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is building a temporary clinical staffing pool. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, and Washington, with additional exploratory procurement from Harris County, Texas and Collier County, Florida. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with procurement offices before pursuing opportunities under this Commodity code, as current activity does not reflect the procedure the code describes.
