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 0DP50UZ

UNSPSC 85593026 Removal of feeding device from esophagus, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the actual work being solicited under this classification by state and local buyers. Recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare delivery for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve esophageal feeding-device removal or align with the procedure's clinical scope. The mismatch suggests either misclassification of opportunities in source systems or a code that does not reflect active state and local purchasing patterns for the procedure it names.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). No single buyer appears more than once. Geographic activity is scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Without solicitations that actually seek esophageal feeding-device removal services, pursue this code only if your firm has direct client relationships with specific state or local health systems known to perform the procedure and procure it through formal channels—which appears unlikely given the complete absence of aligned recent opportunities in the source material.
