UNSPSC 85592715: Dilation of esophagogastric junction, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation 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 0D747ZZ

UNSPSC 85592715 Dilation of esophagogastric junction, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific gastroenterological procedure—does not align with the state and local procurement activity appearing under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code describe independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical care for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve esophageal dilation procedures or related clinical interventions. The code appears to capture administrative and support health services rather than the procedural intervention its UNSPSC designation implies, suggesting either a classification mismatch in state or local procurement systems or a use of the code to denote broader health-service procurement that extends far beyond its nominal scope.

The issuing bodies include city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal employee health programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), county human resources and health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health systems. Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative current solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (proposals due October 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's IFB for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits (proposals due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows active but functionally misaligned procurement activity, indicating either persistent taxonomic miscoding or a systemic practice of applying procedure-specific UNSPSC codes to broader health-administration services in state and local systems.
