UNSPSC 85594718: Removal of feeding device from upper intestinal tract, via natural or artificial opening

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. 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 0DP07UZ

UNSPSC 85594718 Removal of feeding device from upper intestinal tract, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code for which state and local procurement activity shows no substantive alignment. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of feeding devices from the upper intestinal tract. The code nominally describes a procedural intervention within clinical care, yet the posted solicitations reflect demand for medical administration, staffing, benefit design, and occupational health services rather than the specific gastroenterological or endoscopic procedure the code names.

The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement intent across all six opportunities suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or application of the code as a catch-all proxy for medical services not otherwise categorized. Buyers issuing these solicitations — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — span state departments, county governments, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Without recent opportunities actually soliciting removal of feeding devices as a standalone good or service, the code presents no actionable procurement signal for vendors specializing in that specific clinical capability.
