UNSPSC 85593713: Removal of feeding device from upper intestinal tract, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of feeding device from upper intestinal tract, external 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 0DP0XUZ

UNSPSC 85593713 Removal of feeding device from upper intestinal tract, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities solicited under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve removal of feeding devices from the upper intestinal tract. This code appears to be a mismatch between the taxonomy label and the work actually being bought by state and local agencies.

The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 originate from diverse issuing bodies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. No single issuer appears more than once in the recent sample, and no pattern of repeat buyers emerges. Given the fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity tagged under it, this code does not represent a reliable buying signal for feeding-device removal services or related procedures.
