UNSPSC 85591537: Bypass lower 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 lower 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 0D130K6

UNSPSC 85591537 (Bypass lower esophagus to stomach with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach), a Commodity code, shows no alignment between its nominal surgical-procedure scope and the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code's name denotes a specific esophageal surgical technique; the recent solicitations instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pool qualification, surgical carve-out benefit program management, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve esophageal bypass surgery or surgical implants. The code appears to be misapplied or used as a catch-all classification for health and medical services procurement that does not correspond to its technical definition.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies across several states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Activity concentrates in the Southwest and West Coast, with Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas represented in the most recent postings. Representative solicitations include Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), Long Beach's RFP for surgical carve-out benefit program management for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the mismatch between code definition and procurement reality, this code does not represent reliable opportunity data for firms pursuing surgical-implant or esophageal-surgery contracting with state and local governments.
