UNSPSC 85594950: Bypass duodenum 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 duodenum 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 0D198KA

UNSPSC 85594950 Bypass duodenum to jejunum with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code appears to describe a specific surgical procedure (gastric bypass with synthetic material via endoscopic approach), but the six recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit surgical implants, devices, or procedure-related goods. Instead, the opportunities reflect medical staffing, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, pension disability medical evaluations, and health plan carve-out services — none of which match the procedural device or implant nature of the code's stated name.

The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the state and local procurement system or an artifact of how issuing bodies are tagging medical-services opportunities in the UNSPSC taxonomy. The issuing bodies posting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Without opportunities actually soliciting the bypass procedure itself, devices, or related implantable goods — the code does not present a clear pursuit opportunity for vendors in the medical device or surgical-supply space.
