UNSPSC 85593303: Insertion of feeding device into stomach, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of feeding device into stomach, percutaneous 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 0DH63UZ

UNSPSC 85593303 Insertion of feeding device into stomach, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this taxonomy entry. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical and specialty medical procedure carve-out management, emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve percutaneous gastric feeding-device insertion. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical scope and its application in public-sector purchasing. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems, but their posted work does not correspond to the procedure named in the code.

Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, though the code shows no coherent procurement stream around percutaneous gastric feeding devices or the specialized medical services the code nominally covers. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (due October 16, 2026), both of which are entirely unrelated to the code's stated commodity. This code appears unsuitable for business development targeting in its current form; vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC category before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
