UNSPSC 85591545: Bypass lower esophagus to jejunum 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 jejunum 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 0D1307A

UNSPSC 85591545 Bypass lower esophagus to jejunum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not match the medical procedure taxonomy. The code shows no relevant recent opportunities aligned with surgical bypass procedures or esophageal reconstruction services. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the specific esophageal-bypass procedure the code nominally names. This mismatch indicates either a coding error in how state and local issuers tagged these opportunities or a departure between the code's intended scope and how the taxonomy is applied in practice.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span multiple issuing bodies including city retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county detention authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Without a coherent set of opportunities genuinely procuring the procedure named by the code, a business development professional evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for intended service lines before committing resources. The code as currently tagged appears dormant for its nominal scope.
