UNSPSC 85592218: Bypass stomach to transverse colon with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass stomach to transverse colon 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 0D160JL

UNSPSC 85592218 Bypass stomach to transverse colon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the code's nominal scope. The sourced opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve gastroenteric bypass surgery or any related surgical supply or implant procurement. The code assignment appears to be a tagging error across the underlying opportunity records.

Given the mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure definition and the medical-services and health-plan activities actually being solicited, this code shows no relevant recent procurement activity for vendors in the medical device, surgical supply, or implant space. State and local buyers are not acquiring bypass-procedure services or supplies under this code. A business development professional evaluating opportunities under 85592218 should treat the current pipeline as inactive and monitor for correction or relabeling of these opportunities to more appropriate health services or staffing codes.
