UNSPSC 85601637: Supplement ascending colon via natural or artificial opening autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement 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 0DUK87Z

UNSPSC 85601637 Supplement ascending colon via natural or artificial opening autologous tissue substitute via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code for which state and local procurement activity shows minimal relevance to the code's nominal medical-device scope. Recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of the tissue-substitute procedure or device the code nominally describes. Instead, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under RTMRFP26001 (RFP, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program managing Centers of Excellence networks for orthopedic, cardiac, spine, and oncology procedures under HR26753 (RFP, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers under RFP20260825 (RFP, due October 9, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities span health plan administration, occupational medicine, and medical benefit management rather than tissue-substitute procedures or endoscopic surgery devices.

Activity is distributed across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, with no pattern of repeat buying around the Commodity code's device or procedure scope. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, city human resources and benefits departments, state transportation agencies, and county health systems. The mismatch between the code's technical device specification and the range of health services procurement in the recent opportunities suggests this code either receives infrequent use for its intended commodity or is applied inconsistently by tagging agencies. Prospective bidders should verify state and local procurement intent directly rather than rely on the code classification alone.
