UNSPSC 85593170: Bypass stomach to cutaneous with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass stomach to cutaneous 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 0D160K4

UNSPSC 85593170, Bypass stomach to cutaneous with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations posted under it cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve gastric bypass surgery or the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the posting systems or that the code is being used as a placeholder for a broader set of health care services without direct procedural relevance.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a municipal health authority (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara County, California). Recent solicitations are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No recent opportunities show procurement activity specific to gastric bypass surgery or related surgical implants. The code shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope.
