UNSPSC 85591516: Bypass esophagus to duodenum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass esophagus to duodenum with nonautologous 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 0D150K9

UNSPSC 85591516 Bypass esophagus to duodenum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical carve-out benefit programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the named bypass procedure. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the source or that this code has been misapplied to health services contracts that do not involve the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities do indicate modest state and local health services procurement activity across California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program with an anticipated go-live of April 1, 2027; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); and Collier County in Florida requested pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million. These solicitations span multiple issuing bodies—city retirement offices, municipal employee benefits programs, state transportation agencies, and county health systems—but represent disparate service lines rather than a coherent commodity family. The code as tagged appears to carry no decision-relevant signal for pursuing contracts under its stated scope.
