This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass stomach to jejunum with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0D164KA

UNSPSC 85593657 Bypass stomach to jejunum with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that exhibits a significant mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The recent solicitations posted under this code do not reflect the specific surgical intervention the code describes; instead, they reflect a broad range of occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability evaluation, and surgical procedure carve-out programs that bear no direct relationship to bariatric bypass procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical purpose.

The six most-recent state-local opportunities posted under this code span the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). These solicitations originate across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, and reflect health-administration procurement and staffing rather than the procedural medical intervention the code nominally describes. Given the consistent misalignment between the code's taxonomy and the actual work being solicited, vendors pursuing opportunities in occupational medicine, health-system administration, and clinical staffing should verify code assignment independently in each RFP rather than rely on this code as a reliable filtering mechanism for relevant opportunities.
