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 0DB13ZZ

UNSPSC 85593332 Excision of upper esophagus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The code's taxonomy nominally describes a specific surgical intervention, but the state and local procurement records tagged under it reflect a broader demand for occupational and disability medical evaluation services, health benefit program administration, and temporary clinical staffing — activities distinct from the surgical procedure the code names.

The recent opportunities show activity across multiple issuing bodies including city pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile detention authorities, and municipal employee benefits offices. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's request for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026). Geographic spread encompasses Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the evaluation, administration, and staffing services actually being procured suggests this code may be a tagging artifact rather than an indicator of meaningful opportunity in the code's stated domain.
