UNSPSC 85593039 Reattachment of esophagus, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity currently posted under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefits medical record review and independent medical examinations, specialty surgical network management for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve esophageal surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose health systems. The geographic spread covers Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida.

Recent opportunities show no work directly aligned with the code's nominal esophageal surgery scope. The Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825) due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with evaluation weighted 40 percent cost and 60 percent non-cost factors and contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753) due October 7, 2026 for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks for approximately 3,800 plan members, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027; and Santa Clara County Health System issued an RFP (RFSQHHSFY270052) due October 7, 2026 for a qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary health professional categories on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis with no guaranteed work. The misalignment between the code name and the solicitations posted suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for relevant healthcare service procurements.
