UNSPSC 85594953: Bypass duodenum to ileum 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 duodenum to ileum 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 0D198JB

UNSPSC 85594953 Bypass duodenum to ileum with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—a gastrointestinal bypass—yet the six recent opportunities posted under it across state and local jurisdictions involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations procure or reference the surgical procedure named in the code.

The mismatch suggests a classification error in the source data rather than genuine demand for the coded service under state and local contracting. State and local procurement offices do not systematically buy surgical procedures as standalone commodities through public bidding; they contract with health systems, managed care organizations, and staffing vendors for administrative and clinical services. The recent opportunities—including the Washington State Ferries occupational health RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix disability medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), the County of Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (due October 7, 2026), and the Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026 with historical annual spend near $8.7 million)—confirm that buying activity under this code tag reflects health services administration and workforce support, not surgical procedures. Unless the source corrects the code assignment, this code does not represent actionable procurement opportunity for vendors offering services aligned with its stated commodity name.
