UNSPSC 85591504 Bypass stomach to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to the surgical procedure the code nominates; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, health plan administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involves gastric bypass surgery or related operative procedures. The code shows no relevant recent activity in state and local solicitations.

State and local procurement bodies do not appear to buy surgical implants or procedural supplies under this code's scope. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the opportunities tagged to it suggests either a coding error in the posting systems or that this Commodity code is not in active use for state and local contracting.
