UNSPSC 85591557: Bypass middle 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 middle 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 0D120K6

UNSPSC 85591557 Bypass middle esophagus to stomach with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code designation involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with esophageal bypass surgery or procedural implants. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding in the state and local posting systems or that this code does not reflect active procurement in the state and local market as currently tagged.

The opportunities that do appear under this code number involve medical administration and benefits management services rather than surgical procedures or medical devices. State and local buyers appear to be using this code designation for health services contracting in ways unrelated to the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes. Until the tagging or code assignment is corrected, this code should not be treated as a reliable signal of demand for esophageal bypass products or services in state and local government procurement.
