UNSPSC 85593809: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in upper intestinal tract, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in upper intestinal tract, 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 0DW00KZ

UNSPSC 85593809 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in upper intestinal tract, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for tissue replacement in the upper gastrointestinal tract, but the six most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code concern occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty services for detained youth — none of which involve tissue substitutes or GI surgical procedures. This mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied in the state and local procurement system or the solicitations have been incorrectly indexed to it.

The issuing bodies spanning these opportunities include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), and a city (Long Beach, Phoenix), with healthcare and benefits administration as the common thread across all six records. Geographic activity is distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single jurisdiction. Given the disconnect between the code's surgical/tissue-replacement scope and the actual work being solicited, state and local procurement professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged to 85593809.
