This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of esophagus with drainage device, 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 0D9500Z

UNSPSC 85593129 Drainage of esophagus with drainage device, open approach (Commodity) shows a mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure code — and the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The recent solicitations involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve esophageal drainage procedures or surgical device placement. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact within state and local procurement databases rather than a signal of active market demand for the procedural service itself.

State and local issuing bodies — including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — are using this code tag despite procuring administrative health services, benefit management, and temporary staffing. Recent representative opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with extension options) across 14 Washington locations, and the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years for disability benefit application support). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the code assignment does not reflect the actual work being bought, limiting its utility for business development professionals seeking procedural medical supply or surgical device opportunities.
