UNSPSC 85592936: Restriction of middle esophagus with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of middle esophagus with extraluminal device, open approach. 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 0DV20CZ

UNSPSC 85592936 Restriction of middle esophagus with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code whose abstract taxonomy label bears no relationship to the state and local procurement activity actually posted under it. The recent opportunities on record show no solicitations for esophageal medical devices or procedures. Instead, the code has been applied to six fundamentally different health services procurements: independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These are administrative health services, population health management, and clinical staffing—none of which relate to the esophageal surgical device named in the code taxonomy. The mismatch signals either a systematic miscoding issue in the source database or an artifact of how state and local procurement systems tag health-services contracts. State and local issuing bodies applying this code include city retirement offices, municipal human resources divisions, state departments of transportation, county juvenile justice departments, county commissioners' offices, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.

The geographic distribution spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year contract maximum and October 16, 2026 proposal deadline; Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance at 14 ferry system locations with an October 9, 2026 due date and two-year initial term; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 deadline. The code shows active procurement momentum across multiple states and issuing-body types, though the taxonomy mismatch creates uncertainty about whether this concentration reflects genuine demand or systematic data-entry error in source systems.
