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 0DL53ZZ

UNSPSC 85593270 Occlusion of esophagus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve esophageal occlusion procedures. The code appears to be a medical procedure taxonomy designation that state and local procurement systems have applied inconsistently or incorrectly to broader health services and staffing contracts. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and procurement offices (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), and municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix). The activity reflects demand for occupational medicine compliance, disability determinations, pharmacy administration, and clinical staffing across multiple jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers at 14 statewide locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, with responses due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and Collier County's RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs with proposals due October 7, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories with responses due October 7, 2026. The code shows activity across Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, though the mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual procurement content suggests that using this specific code for business development targeting is not reliable.
