UNSPSC 85601137: Bypass cecum to ascending 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 ascending 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 0D1H8ZK

UNSPSC 85601137 Bypass cecum to ascending colon, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, Commodity, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, specialty emergency medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative healthcare services, benefit plan management, and clinical staffing. None involve the specific procedural code (a gastrointestinal bypass procedure) that the Commodity nominally describes. State and local agencies do not procure surgical procedures themselves through traditional procurement channels; healthcare delivery contracts and staffing arrangements sit elsewhere in the taxonomy.

The mismatch between code and actual opportunity content suggests either a cataloging error in the source records or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC classification system as applied by these jurisdictions and the procedural specificity the code claims. Firms pursuing healthcare services or staffing contracts with state and local health systems, counties, and municipalities should verify the correct UNSPSC code through the issuing body's solicitation documents rather than rely on this code as a search or filtering mechanism.
