This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass esophagus to stomach with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0D15476

UNSPSC 85591719 Bypass esophagus to stomach with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with a nominal scope that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code's clinical descriptor specifies a surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged to this code request medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the specific surgical intervention the code names. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or incorrectly to broader health services and benefits administration categories.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a municipal benefits department (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile detention authority (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), a county human resources division (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide (due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive, no guaranteed work). The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure name and the actual work being solicited signals either systematic tagging error or a broader taxonomy issue; prospective bidders should verify the correct UNSPSC code directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities under this classification.
