This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cecum to sigmoid colon, open approach. 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 0D1H0ZN

UNSPSC 85601352 Bypass cecum to sigmoid colon, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities recorded under this code show no alignment with the code's nominal scope. The five most recent opportunities tagged to this code are in fact healthcare administration and service delivery — inmate medical and pharmacy services management at a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve surgical procedures or involve purchasing bypass surgery services as a line item or bundled offering. State and local governments appear to have mislabeled these opportunities in their UNSPSC taxonomy, or the tagging reflects a data-entry error rather than intentional procurement under the code as defined.

The opportunities do reveal activity across multiple issuing bodies — county corrections departments, county benefits and human resources divisions, county boards of commissioners, county health and behavioral health agencies, and municipal fire departments — spanning Georgia, Florida, and California. The geographic spread is sparse and the issuing bodies diverse, but the pattern is unmistakable: no solicitation under this code in the recent window involves the procedure the code nominally describes. Business development professionals should not assume this code represents a meaningful market signal for surgical services or medical device procurement related to bypass procedures. A vendor pursuing these opportunities should verify the correct UNSPSC codes directly with each issuing body before responding.
