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 0D520ZZ

UNSPSC 85593161 Destruction of middle esophagus, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for a county health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services—are healthcare administration and delivery contracts unrelated to surgical esophageal procedures. These solicitations represent operational healthcare procurement (claims processing, care coordination, telemedicine platforms, behavioral health support, and medical oversight), not surgical intervention or the implantable devices, instruments, or supplies associated with esophageal destruction.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual opportunities posted suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or that this Commodity code is not actively used for state and local procurement. Buyers in Florida, Georgia, and California who posted these opportunities tagged them with a surgical procedure code when acquiring healthcare services and administration. If pursuing opportunities in correctional healthcare, county benefits administration, virtual care delivery, or municipal medical direction, search the Family and Class codes for healthcare services and plan administration rather than this Commodity designation—the code appears dormant for state and local purchasing.
