UNSPSC 85593549: Occlusion of middle esophagus, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of middle 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 0DL24ZZ

UNSPSC 85593549 Occlusion of middle esophagus, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally identifies a specific clinical procedure, but the most-recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with esophageal occlusion procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services that do not fit other taxonomy categories within the issuing bodies' classification schemes.

No procurement opportunities for esophageal occlusion services or related gastroenterology procedures appear in the recent state and local contract pipeline. State and local procurement under this code, to the extent it occurs, does not map meaningfully to the procedure the code nominally describes.
