UNSPSC 85601151: Bypass cecum to ascending colon via natural or artificial opening synthetic 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 ascending colon via natural or artificial opening synthetic 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 0D1H8JK

UNSPSC 85601151 Bypass cecum to ascending colon via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic (Commodity) does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. This code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure using a gastrointestinal bypass technique and synthetic materials, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged to it instead cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and specialty surgical carve-out programs for employee health plans. None of these services involve gastrointestinal surgical procedures or the implantation of synthetic bypass devices. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for health services procurement rather than for the specific procedure its nomenclature describes.

The recent opportunities indicate that state and local buyers—including county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation agencies, and county commissioners—are actively soliciting healthcare administration, staffing coordination, and benefit management services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year maximum value of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation requests occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations statewide, due October 9, 2026. Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management services, with historical annual spending around $8.7 million. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. These opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none procure the specific procedure identified in the UNSPSC code nomenclature. Pursue activity under this code only if your firm offers the health services and staffing functions the recent solicitations actually name; if your capability is surgical-device or gastrointestinal-procedure related, the code appears to be misaligned with current state and local demand.
