UNSPSC 85601567: Bypass cecum to descending colon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cecum to descending colon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0D1H4JM

UNSPSC 85601567, Bypass cecum to descending colon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span medical staffing, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluation, and surgical carve-out programs — none of which involve the specific gastrointestinal bypass procedure the code names. The mismatch indicates either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged or a fundamental misalignment between the code's scope and how state and local agencies are using it in practice.

The six recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, sourced from city retirement offices, county health systems, county commissioners, and state transportation departments. No pattern of repeat buying under this code is evident, and the geographic and issuing-body spread reflects ad hoc tagging rather than coherent procurement clustering. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the services actually being solicited — comprehensive disability medical reviews, occupational surveillance compliance, pharmacy administration, and specialty surgical networks — this code shows little actionable relevance to vendors pursuing state and local health services contracts. The opportunities posted here would be better served by different UNSPSC codes that directly address medical staffing, benefits administration, or occupational health services.
