UNSPSC 85591517: Bypass esophagus to stomach with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass esophagus to stomach 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 0D150K6

UNSPSC 85591517 Bypass esophagus to stomach with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local contract opportunities show no purchasing activity aligned with this code's clinical scope. Instead, the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 that carry this code tag address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve esophageal bypass procedures or surgical implants. The code appears to be a misalignment between the issuing bodies' procurement systems and the UNSPSC taxonomy, suggesting either data entry error or a systematic tagging issue that obscures what state and local governments are actually buying under this designation.

The opportunities span multiple jurisdictions and issuing body types: 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). None of the recent solicitations involve surgical procedures, implants, or medical devices consistent with the code's nominal scope. Given the complete disconnect between the code name and the work being solicited, this code does not represent a viable pursuit opportunity for vendors supplying or installing esophageal bypass devices or related surgical services to state and local procurement bodies.
