UNSPSC 85593918: Insertion of feeding device into jejunum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of feeding device into jejunum, 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 0DHA0UZ

UNSPSC 85593918 Insertion of feeding device into jejunum, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a surgical procedure performed on the human body—specifically the insertion of a feeding tube into the small intestine through an open surgical approach—and does not map to the kinds of products or services state and local governments buy. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support services for mental health workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica Fire Department). None of these solicitations involve the insertion of feeding devices or any surgical procedure equipment or supplies related to jejunal feeding access. The code appears to have been misapplied to health services and behavioral health contracts that fall outside its intended scope.

State and local procurement activity under UNSPSC 85593918 does not support a viable business development strategy at this time. The mismatch between the code's medical procedure definition and the actual scope of recent state and local solicitations indicates either data classification error or inappropriate tagging. Firms pursuing state and local health services contracts—whether inmate medical care, pharmacy management, virtual care, mental health support, or EMS medical direction—should verify the correct UNSPSC codes associated with their service lines rather than relying on this code for opportunity identification or pipeline development.
