UNSPSC 85592624: Excision of esophagogastric junction, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of esophagogastric junction, 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 0DB47ZZ

UNSPSC 85592624 Excision of esophagogastric junction, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work being solicited under this code designation in recent state and local procurement. The source records show no opportunities related to surgical excision procedures; instead, they document disability and occupational medical evaluation services, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs for employee benefits programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency care services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the actual procurement activity posted under this code identifier indicates either a data tagging error or a substantial divergence between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the work state and local entities are actually buying. The recent opportunities spanning disability medical record review, occupational surveillance examinations, employee surgical benefit programs, and temporary clinical staffing represent administrative health services and staffing support rather than surgical procedures themselves.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and specialized public health systems. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations due October 16, 2026, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026, and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence due October 7, 2026. Activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, and Washington, with additional posting from Florida and Texas. Because the code designation does not align with the substantive work being solicited, firms evaluating this code should verify whether their service lines match the nominal surgical procedure name or the administrative healthcare services actually being bought.
