UNSPSC 85601369: Bypass cecum to ascending colon with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cecum to ascending colon with synthetic 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 0D1H0JK

UNSPSC 85601369 Bypass cecum to ascending colon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that names a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little activity aligned with the surgical intervention the code nominally describes. The handful of recent opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical benefit carve-outs for public employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the gastrointestinal bypass procedure the code names. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities have been tagged or that this code does not capture meaningful recent state and local procurement activity in its stated domain.

The recent opportunities do reflect broader state and local health administration and occupational medical services. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries issued an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations, requiring physician board-certification in occupational medicine. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) across multiple clinical categories excluding nursing and physician services. Activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington, with issuing bodies spanning state transportation, city retirement systems, county health systems, and county human resources divisions. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical bypass procedure — is not reflected in these opportunities, signaling that this code may not be a reliable signal for state and local procurement in gastrointestinal surgery or related surgical supplies.
