UNSPSC 85594128: Removal of synthetic substitute from upper intestinal tract, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from upper intestinal tract, percutaneous 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 0DP03JZ

UNSPSC 85594128 Removal of synthetic substitute from upper intestinal tract, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the medical services state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code target occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care coordination, temporary health professional staffing, youth detention medical services, and other administrative or preventive healthcare functions—none of which involve gastrointestinal procedural intervention as the code name implies. The mismatch appears to result from broad health services coding practices at the jurisdictional level rather than genuine procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. State and local issuing bodies using this code include county boards of commissioners (Collier County), county health systems (Santa Clara), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), city retirement offices (Phoenix), city personnel departments (Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Scope spans medical record summarization and disability determinations for pension boards, occupational medicine surveillance for maritime workers, specialty surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, temporary ancillary clinical staffing, pharmacy benefits administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth.

The geographic spread encompasses Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations covering approximately 75 annual claims (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program for its Anthem PPO plan targeting Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (258414, originally due April 9, 2026) and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026) round out recent activity. Bidders responding to these opportunities should note that the code's procedural framing carries minimal decision weight—the actual work is administrative healthcare contracting at the health plan, occupational safety, and benefits-determination level.
