UNSPSC 85601360: Bypass cecum to descending colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cecum to descending colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0D1H0KM

UNSPSC 85601360 Bypass cecum to descending colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with surgical procedures or gastrointestinal interventions. Instead, the solicitations covering medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs fall outside the scope of the code's nominal definition. The mismatch suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or the tagging reflects a data classification error rather than genuine procurement activity under the surgical-procedure commodity itself. State and local procurement offices do not typically solicit directly for specific surgical procedures; such work would be embedded in broader healthcare service or hospital facility contracts.

The recent opportunities show no procurement activity genuinely related to bypass cecum procedures or comparable surgical interventions. The code displays little relevant recent activity in state and local contracting, and the opportunities present—including medical surveillance for ferry workers in Washington State, disability medical evaluations through Phoenix's pension boards, pharmacy benefit management for Collier County, and temporary health professional staffing for Santa Clara County Health System—do not reflect actual demand for the procedure named in this Commodity code. Business development professionals evaluating this code should recognize the classification mismatch and seek clarification on whether it is routinely applied to medical services procurement in their target jurisdictions before allocating pursuit resources.
