UNSPSC 85601146: Bypass cecum to cutaneous 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 cutaneous 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 0D1H8K4

UNSPSC 85601146 Bypass cecum to cutaneous via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedural nomenclature and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve bypass procedures or tissue substitutes. The code appears to be a clinical taxonomy entry that state procurement systems have applied incorrectly to operational health and benefits administration work, resulting in a dataset where the nominal scope of the code does not reflect what is actually being bought.

State and local issuers purchasing under this code—the Washington State Department of Transportation, City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Collier County, Harris County, and Santa Clara County Health System—are primarily counties and state transportation departments acquiring health services contracts, pharmacy administration, staffing pools, and medical surveillance rather than any procedural medical devices or implants. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP (due April 9, 2026). No bidding opportunities in this dataset are decision-relevant to vendors supplying the bypass procedure supplies that the code name suggests; the code's use as a procurement taxonomy marker appears to be a data classification error rather than a reflection of actual state and local medical device or implant purchasing activity.
