UNSPSC 85601815: Bypass sigmoid colon to rectum via natural or artificial opening synthetic 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 synthetic 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 0D1N8JP

UNSPSC 85601815, a Commodity code for bypass sigmoid colon to rectum via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The recent opportunities posted against this code consist of independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical and medical procedure carve-out programs, specialty healthcare services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting broad jurisdictional participation in occupational health, benefits administration, and clinical staffing rather than procurement of implantable surgical devices or procedure-specific supplies.

The geographic spread encompasses Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with the most visible recent activity in California (Long Beach surgical carve-out program, Santa Clara County temporary staffing pool) and Washington (state ferries occupational surveillance). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) supporting disability retirement determinations; Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year initial term with optional extensions); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award, no guaranteed volume). This code shows little relevant recent activity and the mismatch between the code's nominal medical device scope and the health services procurement activity suggests either classification error or use of the code as a default for health-related state and local buys outside its intended commodity family.
