UNSPSC 85591575: Bypass upper esophagus to jejunum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass upper esophagus to jejunum 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 0D110KA

UNSPSC 85591575, Bypass upper esophagus to jejunum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity), shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve that procedure or related gastrointestinal surgery. Instead, the posted solicitations address independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out programs for health plans, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — work that falls outside the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or that state and local agencies are using the code to tag broadly medical services procurement that does not align with the Commodity's specific procedure designation.

The recent opportunities originate from geographically dispersed issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). No single jurisdiction appears more than once. The representative solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's surgical specificity and the absence of gastrointestinal or esophageal procedures in recent state and local opportunities, this code appears misaligned with current procurement demand and warrants verification of classification accuracy before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
