UNSPSC 85594931: Bypass jejunum to jejunum 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 jejunum to jejunum 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 0D1A8KA

UNSPSC 85594931 Bypass jejunum to jejunum with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that carries a narrow clinical-procedure designation; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the specific surgical procedure named. The opportunities posted in the past two months span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the specific gastrointestinal bypass procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are diverse: municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipalities providing employee benefits (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health authorities (Collier County, Santa Clara County). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas.

The mismatch between the code's narrow surgical-procedure scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this Commodity code may be misapplied in the state and local procurement systems to capture broader healthcare administration and staffing services. A business development professional evaluating this code should verify whether recent opportunities represent systematic miscoding or whether the code has been repurposed to capture general healthcare procurement. The representative recent opportunities—including the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), and WSDOT's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026)—suggest active procurement activity in healthcare administration and medical staffing across state and local jurisdictions, but these solicitations do not correspond to the specific clinical procedure named in the Commodity code.
