UNSPSC 85593716: Removal of monitoring device from upper intestinal tract, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring 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 0DP0X2Z

UNSPSC 85593716 Removal of monitoring device from upper intestinal tract, external approach is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific clinical procedure—endoscopic removal of an upper gastrointestinal monitoring or foreign device—but the recent opportunities posted under this classification do not reflect procurement of that service. Instead, issuing bodies have tagged opportunities related to broader occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy management, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention medical care under this code, suggesting either broad misclassification or use of the code as a catch-all for medical services procurement. State and local governments are not currently soliciting removal of upper GI monitoring devices as a standalone service line; the code shows no authentic procurement activity in its stated scope.

The few opportunities nominally assigned to this code span diverse issuing bodies including county human services departments, city retirement offices, state transportation agencies, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none of these solicitations address the endoscopic procedure the code describes. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) represent the most recent substantive opportunities, yet neither involves upper GI device removal. This code presents a weak signal for vendors in the gastrointestinal or interventional endoscopy space; reclassification or clarification of the code's intended scope would be necessary to assess genuine procurement demand.
