This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cecum to cutaneous 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 0D1H8J4

UNSPSC 85601153 Bypass cecum to cutaneous via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure. However, the recent opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the surgical-procedure nomenclature. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program offering bundled-payment Centers of Excellence for orthopedic, spine, cardiac, and oncology procedures (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers including baseline and periodic examinations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County solicited Pharmacy Benefit Management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including Audiology, Radiology, Orthopedic, Surgical/OR, and Therapy Services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows broad mismatch between its procedural code name and the work actually being solicited—largely occupational health, benefit administration, medical staffing, and pharmacy management rather than a specific surgical bypass procedure.

Issuing bodies across the recent record span city retirement offices, municipal health systems, county human resources departments, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile justice operations. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest, with solicitations from Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County). The code does not show meaningful repeat-buyer concentration. Given the consistent mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the occupational health, benefits administration, and staffing services actually being solicited, this code appears to be a misclassification artifact in the state and local tagging process rather than a legitimate procurement category for the work described.
