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 0DV53ZZ

UNSPSC 85593218 Restriction of esophagus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific clinical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with that clinical scope. The opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determination, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out administration, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical center-of-excellence networks — none of which involve esophageal restriction procedures or related interventions. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the work actually being solicited suggests this code is either incorrectly applied by posting jurisdictions or serves as a catch-all classifier for medical service procurement outside the purchasing office's primary taxonomy. State and local buyers using this code include county commissioners' offices, city retirement systems, state transportation departments, county health systems, county probation departments, and independent school districts or special health authorities. Recent issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California).

Geographic activity in recent postings concentrates in California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000 for medical record summarization and disability examination coordination for approximately 75 annual public safety pension disability applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026 with a two-year initial term and optional five-year extensions; the City of Long Beach RFP HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out and center-of-excellence network administration due October 7, 2026 for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ FY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, a non-exclusive multiple-award pool due October 7, 2026 with no guaranteed volume and potential five-year maintenance. The code shows activity but limited decision relevance for esophageal procedure vendors; prospective bidders should verify actual scope alignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
