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 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 0D1H87K

UNSPSC 85601158 Bypass cecum to ascending colon via natural or artificial opening autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The code appears to describe a specific surgical procedure code from a medical taxonomy rather than a procurement category. The recent solicitations posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, medical staffing, and pension disability evaluation services — none of which align with the surgical bypass procedure named in the code. State and local procurement systems occasionally misclassify opportunities when medical or healthcare services are involved, and this code shows clear evidence of that misalignment.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal retirement and health systems (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Board, City of Long Beach), drawn from Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP for disability benefit determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026; and the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP with an April 9, 2026 deadline. Given the mismatch between the code's surgical procedure name and the actual health services being solicited, this code warrants caution — verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
