UNSPSC 85593168: Bypass stomach to jejunum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass stomach to jejunum with nonautologous tissue 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 0D160KA

UNSPSC 85593168 Bypass stomach to jejunum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code for a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal clinical scope. The opportunities solicited include occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, disability medical record review and examination coordination for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit management through Centers of Excellence networks, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing services. None of these opportunities involve gastrointestinal bypass surgery or related implant procurement; the code appears to capture administrative, staffing, and benefit-management services rather than the surgical procedure its classification suggests.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and departments (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and city retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry system employees due October 9, 2026, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability benefit determinations due October 16, 2026, and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP for employee health plans due October 7, 2026. The code shows recent activity but does not reflect procurement activity directly related to its stated surgical procedure classification.
