UNSPSC 85593914: Insertion of feeding device into ileum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of feeding device into ileum, open 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 0DHB0UZ

UNSPSC 85593914 Insertion of feeding device into ileum, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement opportunities posted under this code do not align with the code's clinical scope. The opportunities instead reflect healthcare service procurement by counties, municipalities, and special-purpose health districts — including jail medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. This misalignment suggests the code may have been applied incorrectly to these opportunities or that state and local procurement systems are using medical procedure codes to tag broader healthcare contracting activity that does not reflect the code's intended clinical meaning.

The issuing bodies span county health departments, county commissions, and municipal fire departments across Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government for Muscogee County Prison), and California (San Mateo County). Recent opportunities show activity in employee health plan administration, institutional healthcare delivery, and specialized clinical services, with response dates ranging from April 2026 back to October 2025. Given the fundamental mismatch between the code's definition as a surgical insertion procedure and the operational healthcare services actually being solicited, firms pursuing work in state and local healthcare contracting would benefit from validating the correct UNSPSC classification before building business development strategy around this code.
