UNSPSC 85591567 Bypass middle esophagus to stomach with autologous tissue substitute, open approach, a Commodity code, shows a fundamental mismatch between its narrow procedural name and the state and local opportunities actually tagged to it. The recent solicitations under this code do not reflect surgical procedures or tissue engineering; instead, they encompass occupational and disability medical services, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs. The issuing bodies are diverse — state departments, counties, cities, and regional health systems — with no clear pattern of repeat buyers. The scope of work tagged to this code in practice includes medical record summarization and scheduling for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, independent medical evaluations for public safety retirement systems, temporary clinical staffing placement, and specialty medical network management. This apparent categorization error suggests the code may be receiving miscategorized filings or represents a data quality issue in the state and local opportunity feeds.

Recent activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations on August 25, 2026, with proposals due October 9, 2026. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out program management for its Anthem PPO plan on August 26, 2026, due October 7, 2026. Collier County issued an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services in August 2026 with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories on July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's stated procedure and the actual work being solicited, pursuit should be preceded by verification that the code assignment is accurate for your target market.
