UNSPSC 85591524: Bypass esophagus to ileum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass esophagus to ileum 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 0D1507B

UNSPSC 85591524 Bypass esophagus to ileum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — esophageal bypass using autologous tissue in an open surgical approach — a highly specialized clinical intervention typically performed in hospital operating rooms and coded for medical billing and outcome tracking within healthcare provider networks.

State and local governments do not procure this code directly as a product or service line. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a fundamental mismatch: they solicit independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty care services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara). None of these solicitations contemplate purchasing bypass surgery procedures or any surgical procedure as a commodity. The code appears to be a data classification artifact — possibly applied by a procurement system during upload of healthcare-related RFPs — rather than a meaningful procurement category for state and local contracting. Pursuit under this code is not recommended.
