This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement stomach, pylorus with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0DU77JZ

UNSPSC 85592353 Supplement stomach, pylorus with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific surgical implant procedure — and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities assigned to this code do not involve gastric or pyloric implants or surgical procedures of any kind. Instead, they represent health services contracting across multiple domains: independent medical evaluations for public safety retirement disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing placement. The code's assignment to these opportunities appears to reflect categorical tagging drift or administrative error rather than genuine relevance to the code's stated procedure. No state or local government procurement activity in the recent block actually solicits gastric or pyloric synthetic implants or related surgical supplies.

The opportunities that are tagged under this code span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issuing from city retirement boards, city human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile detention authorities, county health systems, and county commissioners' procurement offices. Representative recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, for $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026). The code does not usefully segment this market for a business development professional focused on the code's stated clinical scope; firms pursuing state and local contracts for gastric or pyloric implants should not rely on this code's recent activity to forecast demand or identify buying patterns.
