UNSPSC 85591569: Bypass upper esophagus to ileum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass upper esophagus to ileum, 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 0D110ZB

UNSPSC 85591569 Bypass upper esophagus to ileum, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no meaningful relationship to that scope. The five posted solicitations span inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care for county health plan members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these procurements involve gastrointestinal bypass surgery or surgical procedures of any kind. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to healthcare service contracts that fall outside its intended taxonomy scope.

The issuing bodies are diverse county and municipal health and human services departments—Muscogee County Prison (via Columbus Consolidated Government), Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, San Mateo County Health, and Santa Monica Fire Department—spanning Florida, Georgia, and California. Recent activity includes Muscogee County Prison's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical spending of approximately $8.7 million annually (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope; pursuit decisions should account for the apparent taxonomy error and evaluate opportunities on their stated healthcare service content rather than the surgical code assigned.
