UNSPSC 85592951: Supplement esophagus with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement esophagus with autologous 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 0DU507Z

UNSPSC 85592951 Supplement esophagus with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities tagged with this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care for county members (Monroe County), peer support services for mental health workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica Fire Department) — none of which involve esophageal surgical procedures or tissue substitutes. The code's nominal scope (surgical esophageal reconstruction using autologous tissue) does not align with the scope of work actually being solicited under this designation in state and local procurement records.

This mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to these opportunities, or the code itself is rarely used in state and local procurement for its intended surgical purpose. Firms pursuing state and local healthcare, medical services, or pharmacy contracts should verify the UNSPSC codes assigned to specific solicitations against the actual scope of work before relying on code-level targeting for business development.
