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 0D923ZZ

UNSPSC 85593346 Drainage of middle esophagus, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific gastroenterological surgical procedure—does not align with the posted solicitations. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code instead solicit general occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services map to esophageal drainage procedures; the mismatch suggests either miscoding at the issuing body or a taxonomy alignment issue. State and local procurement offices do not typically solicit for individual surgical procedures through RFPs or RFQs—procedures are procured as part of hospital networks, managed-care contracts, or employee health benefits bundled at a much higher UNSPSC tier.

The posted opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (Centers of Excellence surgical benefit carve-out), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (hospital and specialty care for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Because the code does not reflect actual procurement activity in this category, vendors should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing work under UNSPSC 85593346.
