UNSPSC 85593029: Removal of radioactive element from esophagus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of radioactive element from esophagus, 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 0DP501Z

UNSPSC 85593029 Removal of radioactive element from esophagus, open approach (Commodity) shows no meaningful activity in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a highly specialized surgical procedure—does not align with the opportunities tagged under it in the source material. Recent solicitations attributed to this code actually reflect occupational health screening, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs. These are administrative health services and workforce management contracts, not the esophageal interventional procedures the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either tagging error on the source side or a jurisdiction using the code as a catch-all for non-specific health services procurement.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities nominally under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with activity concentrated in the Southwest and West. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP for Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan administration (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (deadline April 9, 2026, $8.7 million historical annual spend). The code does not reflect coherent procurement activity at the Commodity level—treat it as inactive for the work its name suggests.
