UNSPSC 85591563: Bypass middle esophagus to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass middle esophagus to cutaneous 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 0D120J4

UNSPSC 85591563 Bypass middle esophagus to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code soliciting medical and health services bear no connection to esophageal bypass surgery. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach solicited proposals for surgical procedure carve-out networks covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities involve esophageal bypass procedures or the surgical technique specified in the code.

The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical scope and the breadth of general health services procurement suggests the code is either mis-tagged by issuing bodies or captures a volume too small to drive meaningful state and local solicitation activity. State and local procurement professionals should verify the accuracy of any opportunity records claiming alignment with this code before pursuing them under UNSPSC 85591563.
