This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass middle esophagus to stomach, 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 0D128Z6

UNSPSC 85591444 Bypass middle esophagus to stomach, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this code. The most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities directly involve the esophageal bypass procedure the code purports to describe, and the mismatch suggests either tagging errors in the source data or that the code captures something other than what its name indicates.

Recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with a mix of city procurement offices, county boards, and state transportation agencies issuing RFPs and RFIs. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and the actual solicitation activity, this code warrants close review before committing resources.
