UNSPSC 85593574: Extirpation of matter from lower esophagus, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from lower 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 0DC34ZZ

UNSPSC 85593574 Extirpation of matter from lower esophagus, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The source records six recent state and local contract opportunities, but only one—a medical surveillance solicitation from the Washington State Department of Transportation for occupational health examinations of ferry workers—falls within clinical medical services delivery. The remaining five opportunities span pharmacy benefit management, health plan surgical carve-outs, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, emergency and specialty care for youth in detention, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these directly involve the esophageal procedure named in the code, and the code's nominal scope does not align with the breadth of medical and administrative services these jurisdictions are actually procuring.

The solicitations come from diverse issuing bodies—a state transportation agency, county health systems and probation departments, city retirement and human resources divisions, and a health system—distributed across Washington, California, Texas, Arizona, and Florida. Given the mismatch between the code's clinical procedure specification and the administrative, staffing, and benefit-management focus of the recent opportunities tagged to it, this code does not represent a coherent procurement category for state and local business development purposes. Practitioners should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this code.
