This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of feeding device from esophagus, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0DP54UZ

UNSPSC 85593520 Removal of feeding device from esophagus, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific clinical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code tag do not involve esophageal device removal or percutaneous endoscopic work. Instead, the tagged solicitations span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the narrow clinical scope the code name implies. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or use of the code as a catch-all for health services procurement beyond its stated definition.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include a city pension office (Phoenix), a city health benefits purchaser (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative current opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications with proposals due October 16, 2026 under RFP RTMRFP26001 ($750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 under RFP RFP20260825; and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026 under RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052. Business development professionals should verify whether UNSPSC 85593520 is the intended code for their service offering or whether a higher-tier health services code better reflects their actual market focus.
