This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of feeding device from upper intestinal tract, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0DP08UZ

UNSPSC 85594709 Removal of feeding device from upper intestinal tract, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it bears no relationship to the code's nominal clinical scope. The six opportunities posted since late July 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of feeding devices or endoscopic procedures. This code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's technical clinical definition and the work actually being solicited suggests either persistent tagging error across multiple jurisdictions or a broader classification drift that obscures the code's intended procurement scope.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), city procurement bureaus (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara County, California). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no discernible concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications due October 16, 2026, the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026, the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, and the County of Santa Clara Health System multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Practitioners pursuing contracts under this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with the issuing body before proposal submission.
