UNSPSC 85592742: Destruction of upper esophagus, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of upper 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 0D517ZZ

UNSPSC 85592742 Destruction of upper esophagus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities in the recent record—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical carve-out benefits management (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System)—are all administrative health-plan, occupational health, or staffing services that do not match the code's clinical specification for esophageal destruction procedures. The code appears to describe a specific surgical intervention with minimal or no state and local procurement demand; issuing bodies do not solicit esophageal procedures as standalone commodities through competitive notice processes, as such clinical services are typically furnished through hospital networks or managed-care contracts negotiated at the health-plan level rather than procured as discrete line items.

The geographic and issuing-body distribution across the recent record spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with buyers including city health systems, county governments, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments. However, none of these opportunities reflect procurement under this code. The absence of relevant activity signals that state and local governments do not use this UNSPSC classification for actual purchasing activity, or that clinical procedure codes are tagged inconsistently across state and local systems. Firms pursuing state and local health service contracts should monitor codes tied to managed care, network development, or facility-based surgical services rather than this procedure-specific commodity code.
