UNSPSC 85593320: Extirpation of matter from lower esophagus, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from lower esophagus, 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 0DC33ZZ

UNSPSC 85593320 Extirpation of matter from lower esophagus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a clinical procedure performed on the esophagus; however, the six recent opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve esophageal procedures or percutaneous extirpation work. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual scope of these solicitations suggests either a classification error in the tagging system or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy as applied and the work being procured.

The opportunities themselves reflect legitimate state and local health and human services buying activity: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical benefit carve-out program for its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual spend near $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited a multi-award qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 service categories (due October 7, 2026). Buyers span state health agencies, counties, cities, and local health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. This code should not be relied upon to identify procurement opportunities in esophageal procedures or related gastroenterology services.
