UNSPSC 85601142: Bypass cecum to descending colon via natural or artificial opening 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 cecum to descending colon via natural or artificial opening 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 0D1H8KM

UNSPSC 85601142 Bypass cecum to descending colon via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code whose nominal name describes a surgical procedure code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with surgical or gastroenterological services. Instead, the code has been applied to a diverse set of health services solicitations unrelated to the specific procedure named in the code taxonomy. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System have tagged solicitations under this code for independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. This mismatch between code title and actual procurement suggests either misclassification in the state and local systems applying the code or that the code has been repurposed in practice to capture broader health services categories.

The recent opportunities show issuing bodies spanning state departments, county governments, and city procurement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit Center of Excellence carve-out services due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with proposals due April 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. No single issuing body appears more than once in the recent record, and the code shows minimal relevant activity when evaluated against its nominal surgical procedure scope.
