UNSPSC 85591474: Bypass upper esophagus to stomach with synthetic substitute, 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 stomach with synthetic substitute, 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 0D118J6

UNSPSC 85591474, Bypass upper esophagus to stomach with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the esophageal bypass procedure named in the code's title, nor do they procure surgical devices, implants, or procedure-specific supplies. The mismatch between code and actual work suggests either systematic miscoding or a taxonomy that does not align with how state and local health and human services agencies classify their medical and administrative procurements.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), municipal and county retirement offices (City of Phoenix), a municipal employee benefits program (City of Long Beach), and a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation). No procurement under this code reflects purchases of the medical device or surgical intervention the code nominally describes. Given the absence of relevant recent opportunities, this code does not merit active pursuit unless a firm has specific capability in esophageal surgical procedures and anticipates state or local health system procurement for such interventions—an expectation the recent record does not support.
