This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of feeding device from lower intestinal tract, external 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 0DPDXUZ

UNSPSC 85603520 Removal of feeding device from lower intestinal tract, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The six most recent opportunities posted under or near this code between July and September 2026—spanning Phoenix retirement medical evaluations, Long Beach surgical benefit administration, Washington State Ferries occupational health surveillance, Harris County juvenile detention medical services, Collier County pharmacy benefit management, and Santa Clara County temporary health professional staffing—concern administrative medical services, benefits management, and occupational health programs entirely unrelated to the removal of enteral or gastric feeding devices. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure scope and the administrative or staffing services actually being solicited suggests that state and local buyers are either not using this code for its intended commodity classification or the code sees minimal direct procurement activity in the state and local market.

None of the posted opportunities under review solicited medical equipment, devices, or device-removal services aligned with the code's nominal scope. The absence of relevant recent opportunities in this code, across multiple issuing bodies and geographies (Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, Texas), signals that feeding device removal procedures—if procured at all by state and local health systems, detention facilities, or benefit programs—are likely embedded within broader clinical service contracts, staff augmentation pools, or inpatient hospital bundles rather than bought as standalone commodity lines. Firms pursuing state and local business in clinical device procurement should monitor higher-tier medical equipment and supplies codes or look to hospital system RFPs that name specific device categories or procedure bundles rather than expect direct solicitations under this code.
