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 0DP60UZ

UNSPSC 85593016 Removal of feeding device from stomach, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code's medical-procedure name suggests surgical intervention, yet recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefits medical record summarization, pharmacy benefit management, pediatric detention-center medical services, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve gastric feeding-device removal or open surgical approaches. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement databases or that the UNSPSC taxonomy does not capture the actual medical services being transacted. The issuing bodies are diverse: municipal pension boards, county governments, regional transit authorities, and county health systems, reflecting fragmented procurement across different public sectors and jurisdictional levels.

Geographic activity spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach employee health benefits, County of Santa Clara Health System staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefits), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), with no clear regional concentration. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP HR26753 for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing qualification pools (due October 7, 2026). The code's nominal specificity—a precise surgical procedure—does not correspond to the breadth or type of health administration and staffing services being bought; firms pursuing activity under this code should verify actual opportunity scope before committing to pursuit.
