This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass lower esophagus to stomach with synthetic 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 0D130J6

UNSPSC 85591542 Bypass lower esophagus to stomach with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect general health services contracting — occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit programs — not surgical procedures or implants. State and local buyers do not procure specific surgical interventions through competitive solicitation; instead, they contract with providers, health plans, third-party administrators, and staffing firms to deliver or coordinate care. The code appears misapplied to these opportunities and carries little signal for vendors pursuing health-services work at the state or local level.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington and include a Phoenix pension board seeking disability medical evaluation services (RFP due October 16, 2026), Long Beach requesting surgical benefit carve-out management (RFP due October 7, 2026), Washington State Ferries seeking occupational medical surveillance (RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services (RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County seeking pharmacy benefit management (RFP due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing (proposals due October 7, 2026). These buyers operate from distinct operational contexts — pension administration, municipal employee benefits, state ferry operations, juvenile detention, county human resources, and county health systems — but none is purchasing the surgical procedure named in the code. Vendors should verify code assignment with issuing bodies or focus on the specific health-services categories actually being solicited rather than relying on this commodity designation.
