UNSPSC 85593900: Upper digestive system- small intestine, open approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 25 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the upper digestive system- small intestine with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0D.

UNSPSC 85593900 Upper digestive system—small intestine, open approach—part B is a Class code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code is nominally a surgical procedure classification, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve upper digestive system procedures or surgical intervention. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement without precise clinical taxonomy alignment.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with single opportunities also posted in California and from the Santa Monica Fire Department. The most recent and highest-profile opportunity is the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, covering 576 offenders with an estimated current monthly cost of $95,537.71; Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million (posted April 9, 2026, deadline April 9, 2026); and Monroe County issued an RFP (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services covering 2,300 county members. Given the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations' focus on administrative health services, program management, and care coordination rather than procedural medicine, this code does not represent reliable activity for firms pursuing surgical services or procedure-specific contracting opportunities.
