UNSPSC 85592749: Bypass stomach to duodenum with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass stomach to duodenum with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0D168K9

UNSPSC 85592749, Bypass stomach to duodenum with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under it—spanning independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out benefits, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing—do not align with procurement of this procedure or related implantable devices. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is being used as a catchall for health services rather than the narrow procedure the code name describes.

The recent opportunities reveal activity across multiple issuing-body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (occupational health exams for public safety pension boards), the City of Long Beach (employee surgical benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty care for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). These jurisdictions span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration. Because the opportunities posted under this code do not represent actual procurement of the surgical procedure the Commodity code nominally describes, business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code. The disconnect between the code's name and the actual work being solicited makes this code unreliable for targeting surgical-device or procedure-specific business.
