UNSPSC 85601812: Bypass sigmoid colon to rectum via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass sigmoid colon to rectum via natural or artificial opening nonautologous 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 0D1N8KP

UNSPSC 85601812 Bypass sigmoid colon to rectum via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that bears no relationship to state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code describes a specific surgical procedure performed on human patients, whereas the six state and local solicitations posted between July and September 2026 target health benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, emergency services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve performing or procuring the surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch appears to reflect a classification error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities rather than genuine buying activity aligned with this Commodity code's nominal scope.

State and local governments show no recent procurement activity under UNSPSC 85601812 for the surgical procedure the code names. The six opportunities posted by Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County all address administrative, staffing, and ancillary health service contracting — work that does not fall within this code's scope. Bidders evaluating state and local opportunities under this code should treat it as inactive for procurement purposes.
