UNSPSC 85591462: Bypass upper esophagus to jejunum, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass upper esophagus to jejunum, 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 0D118ZA

UNSPSC 85591462 Bypass upper esophagus to jejunum via natural or artificial opening endoscopic (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code appears to describe a specific surgical procedure, yet the most recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employee health plans—none of which correspond to the endoscopic bypass procedure the code nominally identifies. This mismatch suggests the code is either erroneously applied to opportunities in state and local procurement systems or the opportunities are tagged at a higher taxonomic tier than this Commodity code warrants.

The represented jurisdictions issuing opportunities under this code designation span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), with most activity concentrated in public-sector employee health benefits administration and occupational medicine rather than surgical procedures. Given the disconnect between the code's procedural scope and the actual work being solicited, business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing procurement offices before pursuing opportunities in this category.
