UNSPSC 85594938: Bypass jejunum to cutaneous with synthetic 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 cutaneous with synthetic 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 0D1A8J4

UNSPSC 85594938 Bypass jejunum to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code bearing a clinical-procedure nomenclature that does not map to the state and local government procurement activity appearing in recent solicitations. The six recent opportunities tagged with this code—spanning Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—solicit independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical care-out benefits and Centers of Excellence programs, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations involve bypass jejunum procedures or related gastrointestinal surgical interventions. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its assigned taxonomy label and the actual scope of work being purchased.

State and local governments are not using this code to buy the procedure named in the UNSPSC directory. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal employee benefits divisions, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, county benefits consortiums, and county health systems—entities that procure medical administration, benefits management, occupational health compliance, and staffing services rather than surgical procedures themselves. If this code is intended to classify surgical-procedure-related goods or services (such as implants, surgical instruments, or post-operative care protocols), recent state and local activity provides no evidence of it. Procurement professionals should verify the appropriate code assignment before pursuing opportunities under this taxonomy entry.
