UNSPSC 85591579: Bypass upper esophagus to ileum with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass upper esophagus to ileum 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 0D110JB

UNSPSC 85591579 Bypass upper esophagus to ileum with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but state and local opportunities posted under this code do not match its scope. Instead, issuing bodies are soliciting occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which are esophageal bypass surgeries. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition.

Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers (responses due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP for public safety pension benefit determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years, responses due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP for employee health plans (responses due October 7, 2026). Issuing bodies span state agencies, county health systems, city retirement offices, and county juvenile justice departments across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The code's tagging appears inconsistent with actual procurement activity; business development professionals should verify code alignment with their service offering before pursuing opportunities posted under this classification.
