This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass upper esophagus to stomach with autologous tissue 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 0D11876

UNSPSC 85591479 Bypass upper esophagus to stomach with autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local government procurement under this code does not match that clinical scope. Recent opportunities tagged to this code are actually purchasing occupational health surveillance services, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out networks for employee health plans, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing — none of which constitute the esophageal bypass procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local solicitation systems or repurposing of the taxonomy to track broad categories of medical services that do not align with UNSPSC's procedure-level specificity. State and local bodies issuing under this code include county health systems, county commissioners' offices, county probation departments, city retirement offices, and state transportation agencies.

The geographic footprint spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity concentrated in large urban and county-level jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) 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 RFP (HR26753) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026, offered as a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume. Given the consistent mismatch between the code's procedure-level definition and actual procurement activity, vendors should verify code alignment during RFP review rather than assume the code accurately describes the work being solicited.
