This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement upper 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 0DU10KZ

UNSPSC 85592961 Supplement upper esophagus with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect clinical healthcare service management and administration rather than the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The opportunities solicited span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support worker services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve esophageal surgical supplementation or tissue substitution. State and local issuing bodies appear to use this code incorrectly or as a catch-all category for health services contracting rather than for the discrete surgical procedure its name specifies.

The five most recent opportunities come from county and municipal governments in Georgia, Florida, and California, including Muscogee County (Columbus Consolidated Government), Collier County, Monroe County, San Mateo County, and the City of Santa Monica. Muscogee County Prison issued an RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services due May 15, 2026, covering 576 inmates with a current monthly cost of $95,537.71; Collier County issued an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services due April 9, 2026, covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million; Monroe County issued an RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services due April 16, 2026, for approximately 2,300 county members; San Mateo County issued an RFP for a Mental Health Services Act peer support pilot project with $580,000 in total funding; and Santa Monica issued an RFP for a Fire Department Medical Director with an initial three-year term. The code's tagging appears arbitrary relative to the actual work being procured, suggesting limited relevance for business development purposes targeting this specific commodity classification.
