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 0D954ZZ

UNSPSC 85593618 Drainage of esophagus, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific clinical procedure, yet recent solicitations under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations are requesting esophageal drainage procedures or percutaneous endoscopic services; the code appears to have been applied broadly to general medical procurement activity rather than to procedure-specific contracting.

State and local jurisdictions issuing under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara), state departments of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), city retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), county commissioners (Collier County), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and city employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities span Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit evaluations at $750,000 over five years, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code itself does not reflect the actual scope of current buying activity, limiting its utility for business development targeting.
