UNSPSC 85592949: Supplement esophagus with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement esophagus with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0DU50KZ

UNSPSC 85592949, Supplement esophagus with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity), does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which concern esophageal surgical procedures or tissue substitutes. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, yet the issuing bodies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System) are soliciting administrative healthcare services, benefit plan management, and clinical staffing rather than implantable medical devices or surgical supplies.

State and local procurement under this code shows no material recent activity in its stated commodity category. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, but the work being bought—benefits consulting, occupational health programs, pharmacy management, and staffing services—falls outside medical device or surgical supply procurement. Bidders evaluating this code should verify with issuing bodies whether the UNSPSC tag reflects a data entry error or a procurement need unrelated to esophageal tissue substitutes before investing in pursuit strategy.
