UNSPSC 85601819: Bypass sigmoid colon to sigmoid 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 bypass sigmoid colon to sigmoid 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 0D1N87N

UNSPSC 85601819 Bypass sigmoid colon to sigmoid colon via natural or artificial opening autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The code describes a specific surgical procedure code in medical taxonomy; the actual solicitations are for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical care networks, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs—none of which involve the specific gastrointestinal procedure named in the code itself. The mismatch suggests that this code has been misapplied in tagging opportunities or that the code rarely captures genuine state and local procurement activity in its actual scope.

The recent opportunities do reflect demand across state departments, counties, and municipal health systems for medical evaluation, clinical staffing support, and managed care services. The issuing bodies include the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic spread spans Washington, Texas, Arizona, California, and Florida. None of these opportunities are substantially related to the endoscopic sigmoid colon bypass procedure the code nominates, indicating that this code sees little or no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement markets.
