UNSPSC 85591544: Bypass lower 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 lower 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 0D1307B

UNSPSC 85591544 Bypass lower esophagus to ileum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with that clinical descriptor. The opportunities posted against this code reflect instead a mix of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve esophageal bypass surgery or match the code's stated procedure. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), suggesting the code may be serving as a catch-all classification for broader health services procurement rather than a precise procedure-specific taxonomy. This mismatch between code name and actual procurement suggests either data-entry error in code assignment or systematic over-use of the code across health services categories.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with individual opportunities posted by the City of Phoenix (independent medical evaluations; RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out; RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance; RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management; RFP due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing; RFP due October 7, 2026). Because the code shows limited relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope, business development professionals should verify actual procurement needs before pursuing work under this classification—the opportunities appear misclassified against the esophageal bypass code.
