UNSPSC 85601136: Bypass cecum to transverse colon, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cecum to transverse 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 0D1H8ZL

UNSPSC 85601136 Bypass cecum to transverse colon, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not align with the work actually being procured under this classification. The recent opportunities posted against this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out management, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which match the gastrointestinal surgical procedure described by the code's nominal scope. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to opportunities in medical benefits administration, health plan management, and occupational health services rather than to surgical procedure procurement.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span diverse jurisdictions including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara Health System, Collier County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity is scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no dominant regional concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 and a proposal deadline of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026. The code's misclassification suggests limited utility for business development under this specific UNSPSC category and warrants verification with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
