UNSPSC 85591506: Bypass stomach to jejunum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass stomach to jejunum with autologous tissue 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 0D1607A

UNSPSC 85591506 Bypass stomach to jejunum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that the source shows little relevant recent activity under—the recent opportunities posted against this code do not align with bariatric surgical procedures, and state and local governments do not commonly solicit for specific surgical techniques through traditional procurement channels. The code appears to be a mismatch between the medical billing taxonomy and state and local contracting practice.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect administrative health services procurement: independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, specialty surgical benefit carve-outs and centers of excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these procurements involve the gastric bypass procedure named in the code. Issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), cities (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county commissions (Collier County), and regional health authorities. This code does not reflect a coherent buying category for state and local procurement purposes and should not be pursued on the assumption that future opportunities will align with gastric bypass-related contracting.
