UNSPSC 85591566: Bypass middle esophagus to duodenum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass middle esophagus to duodenum 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 0D12079

UNSPSC 85591566 Bypass middle esophagus to duodenum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal surgical-procedure scope and the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The code appears to describe a specific gastrointestinal surgical technique, yet recent opportunities posted under this code solicit independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs — none of which involve esophageal bypass procedures. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging anomaly or that the code is being applied to broader health-service categories that do not correspond to the specific operative procedure the code nominally describes. State and local issuers in the dataset include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employee-benefits offices (Long Beach), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington.

The recent opportunities under this code reflect general occupational and employee health, benefits administration, and medical staffing rather than esophageal or bypass surgery. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, requested occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring baseline, periodic, and exit examinations by licensed occupational medicine physicians across 14 ferry system locations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a five-year term and maximum compensation of $750,000. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, imaging, surgery, and therapy services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). These solicitations indicate that the code as currently tagged does not reflect the surgical procedure its name describes and does not represent a viable category for firms pursuing esophageal or gastrointestinal surgical contracting.
