This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cecum to sigmoid colon, 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 0D1H8ZN

UNSPSC 85601134 Bypass cecum to sigmoid colon, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The medical-procedure coding in this UNSPSC designates a specific surgical intervention that state and local government purchasing offices do not directly procure as a line-item service or supply. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code diverge sharply from its scope — the six posted solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services for public safety disability benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention emergency and specialty healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve the procurement or direct provision of the endoscopic bypass procedure named in the code itself.

The mismatch between code and procurement intent suggests the UNSPSC tagging reflects a classification error or an overly broad categorization assignment by issuing bodies. State and local purchasing appears to use this medical-procedure code to flag healthcare administration and staffing services rather than the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Buyers evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for direct service or supply procurement and redirect focus to higher-level healthcare administration and staffing codes (such as family codes covering medical staffing services or class codes for healthcare consulting) where actual contract volume concentrates. No contracting opportunity under this Commodity code reflects the endoscopic surgical intervention its name specifies.
