UNSPSC 85592738: Destruction of lower esophagus, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of lower 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 0D537ZZ

UNSPSC 85592738 Destruction of lower esophagus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities in the dataset—spanning independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—address healthcare administration, benefit program design, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing rather than esophageal surgical destruction. The mismatch indicates that state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities with this code despite the absence of esophageal procedures in the actual scope of work.

The geographic spread of these opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), suggesting broad but fragmented tagging across multiple states and issuing-body types. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal procedure name and should not be relied upon for business development targeting esophageal surgery or related surgical services procurement.
