UNSPSC 85591558: Bypass middle esophagus to cutaneous 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 cutaneous 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 0D120K4

UNSPSC 85591558 Bypass middle esophagus to cutaneous with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title reflects a highly specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities show no procurement activity aligned with that surgical scope. Instead, the code has been applied to a mixed set of health services solicitations that span independent medical evaluation, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies are diverse: a city retirement office (Phoenix), a municipal health plan administrator (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). None of these opportunities involve the esophageal surgical procedure the code nominally describes, indicating a systematic mismatch between the code's intent and how state and local procurement offices have tagged these health services acquisitions.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology) with a response deadline of October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with a response deadline of October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and other ancillary clinical categories) with a response deadline of October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI (not a formal solicitation) for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the surgical procedure it nominally describes; business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing these opportunities.
