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 autologous 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 0D1H87M

UNSPSC 85601156 Bypass cecum to descending colon via natural or artificial opening autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure classification, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement of that surgical service. Instead, the opportunities center on medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a gastrointestinal surgical bypass procedure. 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 all recently solicited under this code, yet their work spans independent disability medical evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy administration, and ancillary clinical staffing. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition.

The geographic spread of the few recent opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), but the activities solicited — medical record summarization, occupational medicine examinations, PBM administration, and temporary staffing — are fundamentally misaligned with a procedure-specific surgical code. The mismatch between the code's definition and the actual work being bought suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or a data classification problem. No representative opportunities exist that genuinely procure the service the code describes.
