UNSPSC 85591501: Bypass stomach to ileum with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass stomach to ileum with synthetic substitute, open 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 0D160JB

UNSPSC 85591501 Bypass stomach to ileum with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — gastric bypass with synthetic material — yet the six recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. None of these solicitations describe procurement of bypass surgery devices, implants, or procedure-related supplies; instead, they reflect administrative and management services tangential to the code's surgical scope. State and local procurement offices appear to have misapplied the code to general healthcare administration and staffing functions rather than to the orthopedic or bariatric implant and supply purchases the code's name suggests. The lack of alignment between code and opportunity scope indicates either classification error in the source data or absence of actual state and local demand for bypass surgery devices and consumables under this taxonomy.

The six opportunities do show activity across diverse issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — spanning states from Washington and Arizona to Texas and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit centers of excellence (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing qualifications (due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread and issuing-body diversity signal opportunistic or erroneous code assignment rather than focused procurement demand. Firms pursuing actual bypass surgery supply or device business should verify code assignment before investing in response; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content suggests this taxonomy entry may not reflect genuine state and local market activity.
