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 0DQ13ZZ

UNSPSC 85593240 Repair upper esophagus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local contract activity. The five recent opportunities posted under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county jail, pharmacy benefit management for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care for county employees, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services—do not involve percutaneous esophageal repair procedures or surgical services of any kind. These solicitations cover administrative healthcare contracting, pharmacy management, and employment of medical professionals, which fall outside the scope of the code's nominal taxonomy. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual work being bought suggests either a cataloging error in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or a systematic misapplication of this surgical-procedure code to general health services contracting.

Without genuine state and local demand for percutaneous esophageal repair services reflected in recent solicitations, the code presents no actionable procurement signal for vendors in surgical services or specialized medical device supply. Monitor this code for corrected or properly classified opportunities, but do not pursue activity under the current postings.
